That matches my understanding of the dma-buf API, device coherent with explicit cpu coherency managed by ioctl. > This is an important performance fix for architectures which need explicit > cache synchronization and userspace doing lots of dma-buf imports. > Improves Weston on Etnaviv performance 5x, where before this patch > 90% > of Weston CPU time was spent synchronizing caches for buffers which are > already device coherent. > > Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <l.stach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent an equivalent patch through i915's CI, which didn't show any problems.
