We must first flush the MMU cache and then, flush the TLB, not the

and the TLB when running multiple rendering processes at the same

This is evidenced by MMU errors triggered by the IRQ.

Fix the MMU flush order by flushing the MMU cache and then the TLB.

the patch is making 2 changes, it is changing the ordering of the
flushes but also the fact that now we wait for the first flush to
commplete before starting the second while the previous version would
start both flushes and then wait for both to complete. The commit log
seems to suggest that the first change is the one that fixes the issue
but I wonder if that is really what is happening.

Also, have you tested keeping the original order of operations but with
interleaved waits like we do here? Either way, I think we probably

I just tested keeping the order of the operations but using interleaved
waits and I end up having MMU errors that crash the GPU. Changing the
order of the operations was a deliberated choice due the GPU design and
and waiting for each of those to finish is needed to avoid race
conditions.

should emphasized more in the committ log the fact that we are now
waiting for each flush to complete before starting the other flush.


But you are absolutely right. I need to mention it on the commit log.
I'll add this information in the next version.

are we certain we can't have a flush in flux when a new one comes in?

We can, but it doesn't really matter, as by the end of both requests,
the TLB will be flushed.

I'd maybe use "MMU TLB clear wait idle failed", so we can more easily
identify this message comes from the MMU implementation.
