Re: 回复:[PATCH v3 1/1] drm/syncobj: add sideband payload

Are you talking about the new ioctls or the existing wait?

Because we do not use the signal ioctl for binary semaphores.
On the wait side, it's used only for VkFence and we would save a 64bit 
copy per fence we wait on.

I can't see that being a perf bottleneck.

On the new sideband ioctls if we can find a way to have only one it 
would save an ioctl per QueueSubmit.
