For a lot of use cases we need 64bit sequence numbers. Currently drivers overload the dma_fence structure to store the additional bits. Stop doing that and make the sequence number in the dma_fence always 64bit. For compatibility with hardware which can do only 32bit sequences the comparisons in __dma_fence_is_later only takes the lower 32bits as significant when the upper 32bits are all zero. v2: change the logic in __dma_fence_is_later Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Chunming Zhou <david1.zhou@amd.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/266927/
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
