[PATCH] drm/i915: Flush everything on switching to the kernel_context

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

 



Even though all rendering should have been flushed at the end of the
previous requests, add an extra flush after switching to the
kernel_context. As the switch to the kernel_context is used when idling
the gpu (e.g. suspend), having an extra layer of paranoia to ensure
everything is flushed to memory seems sensible.
