- This option enables the fence framework synchronization to export
|
|
|
|
- sync_files to userspace that can represent one or more fences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
|
|
|
|
+ userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct fence' objects to/from
|
|
|
|
+ userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
|
|
|
|
+ userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
|
|
|
|
+ associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
|
|
|
|
+ is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
|
|
|
|
+ Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
|
|
|
|
+ Documentation/sync_file.txt.
