[Mesa-dev] [RFC] Linux Graphics Next: Explicit fences everywhere and no BO fences - initial proposal

[Marek Olšák]

Supporting interop with any device is always possible. It depends on which
drivers we need to interoperate with and update them. We've already found
the path forward for amdgpu. We just need to find out how many other
drivers need to be updated and evaluate the cost/benefit aspect.
