Confirmed. The locking functions are removed from the interface in commit 82 :

[PATCH 82/83] drm/radeon: Remove lock functions from kfd2kgd interface

There is an elegant symmetry there, but yeah we need to find a way to make this less awkward to review without screwing up all the work you've done so far. It's not obvious how to do that though. I looked at squashing into a smaller number of big commits earlier on but unless we completely rip the code out and recreate from scratch I don't see anything better than :

- a few foundation commits
- a big code dump that covers everything up to ~patch 54 (with 71 squashed in)
- remaining commits squashed a bit to combine fixes with initial code

Is that what you had in mind when you said ~10 big commits ? Our feeling was that the need to skip over the original scheduler would make it more like "one really big commit and 10-20 smaller ones", and I think we all felt that the "big code dump" required to skip over the original scheduler would be a non-starter. 

I guess there is another option, and maybe that's what you had in mind -- breaking the "big code dump" into smaller commits would be possible if we were willing to not have working code until we got to the equivalent of ~patch 54 (+71) when all the new scheduler bits were in. Maybe that would still be an improvement ?

Thanks,
JB
