Well this is the fundamental disagreement we have. As far as I can see 
you don't need to adjust anything in the common drm/scheduler code.

That code works with quite a bunch of different drivers, including the 
Intel XE which has similar requirements to your work here.

We can talk about gradually improving the common code, but as Luben 
already wrote as well this needs to be done very carefully.

Well, yes.

No, you don't.

First of all you need to try to adjust your driver to match the 
requirements of drm/scheduler and *not* the other way around.

Well as far as I can see I'm totally polite as well.

Pointing out that approaches doesn't seem to make sense and NAKing 
patches is a perfectly normal part of the review process.

What you need to to is to take a step back and ask yourself why this 
here is facing so much rejection from our side. I have to admit that I 
don't seem to be good at explaining that, cause we are obviously talking 
past each other, but you don't seem to try hard to understand what I'm 
pointing out either.

> That's not ok.

As far as I can see it is.

As maintainer of a commonly used component my first duty is to preserve 
the status quo and prevent modifications which are not well thought 
through. And to be honest those changes here strongly looks like Lina is 
just adjusting the code to match her requirements without looking left 
and right first.

Christian.
