Exactly. https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/commit/?h=sirius/udmabuf&id=515a5b9f1215ea668a992e39d66993a17a940801 > Are you thinking of anything else besides passing the winsrv protocol across > the guest/host boundary? Just wondering if I'm missing something. The patch above uses the dmabuf internally in qemu. It simply mmaps it, so qemu has a linear representation of the resource and can use it as pixman image backing storage without copying the pixel data. So it is useful even without actually exporting the dmabuf to other processes. cheers, Gerd PS: Any chance you can review the v7 patch?
