[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] winsys/svga: Replace the query mm buffer pool with a slab pool v3

Thomas Hellstrom thellstrom at vmware.com
Tue Apr 1 22:50:41 PDT 2014


This is to avoid running out of query buffer space due to winsys
limitations. Instead of a fixed size per screen pool of query buffers,
use a slab allocator that allocates a new slab if we run out of space
in the first one.

v2: Correct email addresses.
v3: s/8192/VMW_QUERY_POOL_SIZE/. Improve documentation and log message.
