[PATCH 01/16] drm/i915: Keep a small stash of preallocated WC pages

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

 



We use WC pages for coherent writes into the ppGTT on !llc
architectuures. However, to create a WC page requires a stop_machine(),
i.e. is very slow. To compensate we currently keep a per-vm cache of
recently freed pages, but we still see the slow startup of new contexts.
We can amoritize that cost slightly by allocating WC pages in small
batches (PAGEVEC_SIZE == 14) and since creating a WC page implies a
stop_machine() there is no penalty for keeping that stash global.
