Re: [PATCH 2/5] drm/nouveau: add reservation to nouveau_gem_ioctl_cpu_prep

[Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com>]

Maarten, for this and the other patches in this series,

I seem to recall we have this discussion before?
IIRC I stated that reservation was a too heavy-weight lock to hold to
determine whether a buffer was idle? It's a pretty nasty thing to build in.
