Media userspace was the last userspace to still use them, and they converted now too: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/commit/144020c37770083974bedf59902b70b8f444c799 This means no reason anymore to make relocations faster than they've been for the first 9 years of gem. This code was added in commit 7dd4f6729f9243bd7046c6f04c107a456bda38eb Author: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 16 15:05:24 2017 +0100 drm/i915: Async GPU relocation processing Furthermore there's pretty strong indications it's buggy, since the code to use it by default as the only option had to be reverted: commit ad5d95e4d538737ed3fa25493777decf264a3011 Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 8 15:41:17 2020 +1000 Revert "drm/i915/gem: Async GPU relocations only" This code just disables gpu relocations, leaving the garbage collection for later patches and more importantly, much less confusing diff. Also given how much headaches this code has caused in the past, letting this soak for a bit seems justified.
