Subject: [PATCH 3/4] drm/v3d: Add some better documentation of the in_sync arguments.
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2018 16:21:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180928232126.4332-3-eric@anholt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180928232126.4332-1-eric@anholt.net>

Since this is UAPI, it's good to document what exactly the guarantees
we're providing are.
