Re: [RFCv5 2/2] drm/i915: Introduce private PAT management

Hi Chris:
    There is mapping between i915 cache level -> PPAT index. Currently it's:

static gen8_pte_t gen8_pte_encode(dma_addr_t addr,
                                  enum i915_cache_level level)
{
...
        switch (level) {
        case I915_CACHE_NONE:
                pte |= PPAT_UNCACHED_INDEX;
                break;
        case I915_CACHE_WT:
                pte |= PPAT_DISPLAY_ELLC_INDEX;
                break;
        default:
                pte |= PPAT_CACHED_INDEX;
                break;
        }
...

According to bspec, the PPAT index filled in the page table is calculated as:

PPAT index = 4 * PAT + 2 * PCD + PWT

In the i915_gem_gtt.c

#define PPAT_UNCACHED_INDEX             (_PAGE_PWT | _PAGE_PCD)     // PPAT INDEX =  1 + 2 * 1 = 3
#define PPAT_CACHED_PDE_INDEX           0 /* WB LLC */			//  PPAT INDEX = 0
#define PPAT_CACHED_INDEX               _PAGE_PAT /* WB LLCeLLC */	// PPAT INDEX = 4 * 1 = 4
#define PPAT_DISPLAY_ELLC_INDEX         _PAGE_PCD /* WT eLLC */           // PPAT INDEX = 2 * 1 = 2

Actually the PPAT index used by i915 are: 0 2 3 4, which has already been reserved in the RFC patches.

The reason I want to reserve that PPAT entries for host is to keep the mapping between I915_CACHE_* and PPAT_*_INDEX unchanged.

Thanks,
Zhi.

Ignore the ABI concern, getting my tables confused. But the question still remains why do we need to reserve these in particular?
