If there are no conflicts, then just skip the patch, and really there shouldn't be since the writes we care about are ordered and the writes we don't, we don't. We will need to move to per-context hwsp in the near future which should alleviate these concerns. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
