31 | Switch from reference/unreference to get/put | ||
32 | -------------------------------------------- | ||
33 | |||
34 | For some reason DRM core uses ``reference``/``unreference`` suffixes for | ||
35 | refcounting functions, but kernel uses ``get``/``put`` (e.g. | ||
36 | ``kref_get``/``put()``). It would be good to switch over for consistency, and | ||
37 | it's shorter. Needs to be done in 3 steps for each pair of functions: | ||
38 | 31 | ||
39 | * Create new ``get``/``put`` functions, define the old names as compatibility | 32 | Remove custom dumb_map_offset implementations |
40 | wrappers | 33 | --------------------------------------------- |
41 | * Switch over each file/driver using a cocci-generated spatch. | ||
42 | * Once all users of the old names are gone, remove them. | ||
43 | 34 | ||
44 | This way drivers/patches in the progress of getting merged won't break. | 35 | All GEM based drivers should be using drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() instead. |
36 | Audit each individual driver, make sure it'll work with the generic | ||
37 | implementation (there's lots of outdated locking leftovers in various | ||
38 | implementations), and then remove it. | ||
