Re: [PATCH v4 8/9] gpu/drm/i915: optimize out the case when a range is updated to read only

[Joonas Lahtinen]

Hi Jerome,

This patch seems to have plenty of Cc:s, but none of the right ones :)

For further iterations, I guess you could use git option --cc to make
sure everyone gets the whole series, and still keep the Cc:s in the
patches themselves relevant to subsystems.

This doesn't seem to be on top of drm-tip, but on top of your previous
patches(?) that I had some comments about. Could you take a moment to
first address the couple of question I had, before proceeding to discuss
what is built on top of that base.

My reply's Message-ID is:
154289518994.19402.3481838548028068213@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Regards, Joonas

PS. Please keep me Cc:d in the following patches, I'm keen on
understanding the motive and benefits.
