SYNC_READ | > SYNC_WRITE is the same as SYNC_WRITE and that seems like perfectly sane > behavior to me. Yeah, but it's resulting in some really confusing semantics: - SYNC_WRITE gives you the write fences - SYNC_READ gives you the read fences _and_ the write fences - SYNC_WRITE | SYNC_READ gives you only the write fences Someone will get this wrong. Also pondering some more we reuse the sync flags from the cpu flush helpers, and there you need to set them for the access you're about to do. And that's also how all the drivers use, which means maybe the more natural meaning if these flags would be: - SYNC_WRITE | SYNC_READ (or just SYNC_WRITE) gives you both read and write fences, since those are the fences you need to wait on before you start writing - SYNC_READ only gives you the read fence This is also what Christian implemented in the dma_resv_usage_rw() helper for implicit sync. -Daniel > > --Jason > > > > Also maybe a case to add to your igt. > > > > > + > > > + fd = get_unused_fd_flags(O_CLOEXEC); > > > + if (fd < 0) > > > + return fd; > > > + > > > + usage = (arg.flags & DMA_BUF_SYNC_WRITE) ?
