Details

Summary

For Some Reason™ we've been experiencing breakage in Vulkan fences (implemented using DRM syncobj).

@jbeich noticed that changing INT64_MAX to INT32_MAX in the part of Mesa that sets the timeout_nsec field on the drm_syncobj_wait struct fixes it. Well, turns out Mesa has been relying on the implementation details of Linux's nsecs_to_jiffies64 — it supports a wider range of numbers, and INT64_MAX works fine. Let's do a similar thing I guess..

Test Plan

Rebuild drm-kms after adding this patch, reboot, retry using Vulkan applications (e.g. vkquake) — now they work fine instead of quitting almost instantly.

Hi Greg,

Can you test this patch instead?

Wow, that's a lot more code :D But yeah, works fine.
