On the other hand thinking about it something like 5 lines of code sounds to avoid the extra copy sounds reasonable to me. >> And BTW GTT BOs used for scanout should be created USWC, so the argument >> that it is faster for CPU access isn't really true either. > You're saying scanout doesn't work from cacheable GTT BOs? If it does > work, it would be preferable for dumb BOs. Well, scanout does seem to work from cachable GTT BOs. But from the documentation from the hardware team I'm pretty sure they never validated this. And as usually nobody from the hardware guys I asked so far could give me a clear answer if it works or not. Regards, Christian.
