Linux 6.5 VirtIO GPU DRM Driver Adding Sync Object uAPI For Vulkan
![VIRTUALIZATION](/assets/categories/virtualization.webp)
The VirtIO GPU DRM driver work to support the synchronization objects user-space API is ready to go with Linux 6.5. In turn Mesa supports the DRM sync object uAPI and provides Vulkan drivers with a generic fencing implementation.
Dmitry Osipenko of Collabora and other developers have been working on this VirtIO GPU driver sync object uAPI support for a while and it's finally ready to go with Linux 6.5. This is nice to see happen and a win for those making use of 3D acceleration within Linux guest virtual machines.
In today's drm-misc-next pull request to DRM-Next these VirtIO GPU driver patches are in place. Also making up this week's drm-misc-next material is support for some additional display panels, Meson driver support for MIPI DSI displays, and various other small changes.
