Yes, I think I'm going to go with the suggestion to fixup the ABI so we don't need the compat layer and as part of that I'm also dropping the align argument. > - can you we ride off ion_handle (at least in userland) and only > export a dma-buf descriptor ? Yes, I think this is the right direction given we're breaking everything anyway. I was debating trying to keep the two but moving to only dma bufs is probably cleaner. The only reason I could see for keeping the handles is running out of file descriptors for dma-bufs but that seems unlikely. > > In the future how can we add new heaps ? > Some platforms have very specific memory allocation > requirements (just have a look in the number of gem custom allocator in drm) > Do you plan to add heap type/mask for each ?
