Subject: [PATCH 2/5] drm/i915: not finding a fence is a non-recoverable condition
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:46:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303245964-3022-3-git-send-email-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1303245964-3022-1-git-send-email-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

This happens in two cases:
- userspace got its fence accounting wrong or
- the kernel got its fence accounting wrong.

In both cases there's absolutely no point in calling evict_everything,
that will not magically bring back the missing fence. So return a
different (hopefully somewhat sensible) error code.

This has the added benefit that out-of-gtt can be distinguish from
broken fence accounting by simply looking at the ioctl return code.
