19:22 mlankhorst: airlied, sima: Any preference on which tree to route through the dmem cgroup controller?
19:23 mlankhorst: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=173445961631236&w=2
19:24 airlied: mlankhorst: if it has all the acks and reviewed on both sides, we can do it via drm
19:24 airlied: might be worth sending a separate pull request to misc though
19:25 airlied: so maybe a topic branch
19:31 mlankhorst: merging to both cgroup and misc through a topic branch?
19:33 airlied: probably just merge to misc and let cgroup know it exists if they need it
19:35 mlankhorst: We already pulled in dma-buf. Slowly but steadily we will offload the kernel to drm-misc. 😈
19:37 pinchartl: mlankhorst: can I push v4l2 patches through drm-misc ? :-)
19:38 airlied: the term misc can cover many sins :-P
19:41 mlankhorst: it's now drm/misc, misc kernel pulled to linus through drm
20:18 Fya: How difficult is it understand/contribute to mesa? Specifically ANV.
20:24 airlied: if you understand vulkan it would be easier, if you understand gpu hw, easier again
20:50 bluetail: those bots :|
20:50 airlied: it's not a bot
20:51 airlied: we are old school in here, real humans spamming
20:53 bluetail: so there having mental illness, that's even worse. I blame society
20:57 mattst88: the person is known as "joss" and has been doing this for more than 10 years
20:58 airlied: society seems to be doing quite well at keeping him alive and connected to the Internet
20:58 mattst88: heh, yeah. society could do a bit worse in that regard
21:26 alanc:
21:27 Fya: airlied: I am comfortable with Vulkan. Does Mesa for ANV use the xe Intel GFX driver for implementing the Vulkan API?
21:29 airlied: Fya: xe is the kernel driver, it uses either the i915 or xe kernel drivers to build a vulkan userspace driver on top of
21:46 airlied: Fya: the important thing to do is find some sort of itch to scratch or area you want to dig into, and try not to absorb it all at once
21:51 Fya: airlied: would implementing VK_EXT_shader_object be too challenging for ANV? Radv was "a long and painful extension to implement".
21:54 airlied: Fya: that's definitely a big one to start with
21:55 airlied: you'd want to have someone with anv knowledge at least identify where the major problems are mapping that onto intel gpu
21:58 dj-death: probably similar to radv
21:59 dj-death: with disabling HW fast paths like primitive replication most likely
