[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Advance ring->head fully when idle

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we retire the last request on the ring, before we ever access that
ring again we know it will be completely idle and so we can advance the
ring->head fully to the end (i.e. ring->tail) and not just to the start
of the breadcrumb. This allows us to skip re-emitting the breadcrumb
after resetting the GPU if the ring was entirely idle. This prevents us
from overwriting a seqno wraparound by re-executing a stale breadcrumb,
i.e.
	submit_request(1)
	intel_engine_init_global_seqno(0)
	i915_reset()
would then leave 1 in the HWS, but the next request to execute would
also be with seqno 1. The sanity checks upon submission detect this as a
timewarp and explode. By setting the ring as empty, upon reset the HWS
is left as 0, leaving it consistent with the timeline.
