I think I've spotted one interesting, yet trivial bit.<br>

</div></div>If I'm understanding the above correctly the ioctl can only read user<br>
data and does not write to params, correct ?<br>

</span>If so, we seems to have a one letter too much in DRM_IOWR - should one<br>
use DRM_IOW/DRM_IOR ? Then again I'm not sure how many ioctls bother,<br>
so please don't read too much into my suggestion :-)<br></blockquote><div><br><div><div><div><div>Ah, yep, good catch, I don't write back to the param struct any more.<br><br></div>The
first iteration of this interface was even more closely modeled on the core
linux perf interface where the param struct starts with a size member
and in a case where userspace passes a structure that's smaller than
expected the kernel returns an error but also writes back the expected
size to inform userspace.<br><br></div>i915 perf moved to taking an array of u64 properties and no longer writes back a size member in the param struct like perf.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>- Robert<br><br> </div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">
