[PATCH 00/13] DRM Reliable Minor-IDs

[David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com>]

Hi

I was looking into our minor-allocation code and it has one major drawback:
char-dev minor-IDs are unreliable. The <id>+128 hacks we use in user-space to
calculate render-node IDs based on the original card just does not work.

Instead of allocating dummy IDs for each driver, I went ahead and tried to fix
it properly. So this series changes the minor-ID management to just allocate a
single dev->minor_base ID instead of one ID per "drm_minor". Now we can use this
base to calculate the correct offset minor-ID for each existing DRM-minor.

While at it, I introduced drm-refcounts to make minor-lookup independent of
drm_global_mutex. This is still not finished (and dev->open_count still exists)
but I already have the next patches waiting here.

Comments welcome!

Branch is also available here:

If someone could pull this into their tree and push to Fengguang's
test-framework, I'd appreciate it a lot! I'm still waiting for a reply from him.

Thanks
David
