Isn't the issue applicable overall - be that in X, wayland compositors, other?
IIRC the vmwgfx's kernel driver, which has extra locking [1] in order
to address that.
Would a similar approach like that be applicable for radeon/amdgpu?
I'm not saying that this is bad/not needed. Just wondering on a
"perfect" long term solution.
That is, unless I've lost the plot and the two are completely unrelated.
Thanks
Emil
