> Edit: It’s worth noting that Nvidia is evidently attempting to find a better path with this new GitHub project. I hope it works out, but they aren’t really cooperating much with anyone to build it - particularly nouveau. It’s more throwing code/blobs over the wall and expecting everyone to change for them. This is far from the truth. This is a piece of code that everybody has wanted for the longest time (surface allocation is far from a solved problem), the solution was discussed with the nouveau developers at XDC2016 and XDC2017. People from ARM and Red Hat have both contributed to the project. https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2016/Program/jones_unix_device_mem_alloc/ https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2016/Program/jones_unix_dev... https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2017/Program/#james_jones https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2017/Program/#james_jones
