Hi Icenowy,

Thanks for your patch! You saved many non-coh PCIe host implementations a day!.

Ah, wait a second.

Such a thing as non-coherent PCIe implementation doesn't exist. The PCIe specification makes it mandatory for memory access to be cache coherent.

There are a bunch of non-compliant PCIe implementations which have broken cache coherency, but those explicitly violate the specification and because of that are not supported.

Regards,
Christian.


Unfortunately I don't think we can safely ttm_cached to ttm_write_comnined, we've
had enough drama with write combine behaviour on all different platforms.

See drm_arch_can_wc_memory in drm_cache.h.

Yes this really sounds like an issue.

Maybe the behavior of ttm_write_combined should furtherly be decided
by drm_arch_can_wc_memory() in case of quirks?

Thanks
