Subject: [PATCH i-g-t 1/3] include/drm-uapi: Add atomic_ioctl error codes
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:59:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331102923.2782569-1-arun.r.murthy@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260210085333.3250279-1-arun.r.murthy@intel.com>
KMD adds a new feature to return a user readable error code on
atomic_ioctl failure. This error code can be used to take corrective
measurements and also be used for error/debug logging.
The corresponding KMD patches are under review @
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/152275/
