intel-gfx-ci realized that something is not quite coherent anymore on some platforms for our i915+vgem tests, when I tried to switch vgem over to shmem helpers. After lots of head-scratching I realized that I've removed calls to drm_clflush. And we need those. To make this a bit cleaner use the same page allocation tooling as ttm, which does internally clflush (and more, as neeeded on any platform instead of just the intel x86 cpus i915 can be combined with).
Vgem would therefore not work correctly on non-X86 platforms?
Unfortunately this doesn't exist on arm, or as a generic feature. For that I think only the dma-api can get at wc memory reliably, so maybe we'd need some kind of GFP_WC flag to do this properly.

I cannot comment much on the technical details of the caching of various architectures. If this patch goes in, there should be a longer comment that reflects the discussion in this thread. It's apparently a workaround.
I think the call itself should be hidden behind a DRM API, which depends on CONFIG_X86. Something simple like
ifdef CONFIG_X86
drm_set_pages_array_wc()
{
set_pages_array_wc();
}
else
drm_set_pages_array_wc()
{
}
#endif
Maybe in drm_cache.h?
Best regard
