Explore the proposal to split DRM and KMS APIs into separate device nodes for GPUs in this Linux Plumbers Conference talk. Delve into the benefits of fine-grained access control, shared nodes across multiple GPUs, and the potential for reusing KMS functionality on devices without advanced DRM features. Learn about the ongoing work, discuss the advantages of multiple device nodes, and contribute to the conversation on how to proceed with this architectural change. Gain insights into topics such as the current layout, DRM API, TRL Master, Render Node, GBM Notes, MSAFD2PI, and userspace drivers as presented by student David Herrmann.
