The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via - the use of an optimized two-tiered lock. - - 2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics - hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to - restricted regions of memory. - - 3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple - queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context - switch. - - 4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules - that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module. |
