SYNOPSIS

int drm_event_reserve_init_locked(struct drm_device * dev, struct drm_file * file_priv, struct drm_pending_event * p, struct drm_event * e);

ARGUMENTS

dev

DRM device

file_priv

DRM file private data

p

tracking structure for the pending event

e

actual event data to deliver to userspace

DESCRIPTION

This function prepares the passed in event for eventual delivery. If the event doesn't get delivered (because the IOCTL fails later on, before queuing up anything) then the even must be cancelled and freed using drm_event_cancel_free. Successfully initialized events should be sent out using drm_send_event or drm_send_event_locked to signal completion of the asynchronous event to userspace.

If callers embedded p into a larger structure it must be allocated with kmalloc and p must be the first member element.

This is the locked version of drm_event_reserve_init for callers which already hold dev->event_lock.

RETURNS

0 on success or a negative error code on failure.
