@mawei I'm not going to touch the existing DRM scheduler, I'm just going to write my own that is part of the driver. If Nova wants to use it we'll figure out how to make it common Rust code. C drivers can continue to use the broken C one that's already there, and fight the brokenness themselves.
The DRM scheduler is helper code, it's not a core part of the DRM subsystem. You can simply choose not to use it and roll your own. Half of DRM is like this.
(Nova is the new Nvidia driver, and yes, it's written in Rust, so Rust will be mandatory for open source upstream support of new Nvidia GPUs. That's already decided.)
@lina Well, after some years I'm pretty sure some other guy would jump out and try to extract the helper into a "generic" framework, and some newer driver will need some unique feature, and again non-constructive discussion.
I'm already so tried of handling one MM guy pushing his "superior" infrastructure without acknowledge some missing features.
It's the usual software development shenanigans, just older guys are much harder to handle.
