[CI 2/2] drm/i915/gtt: Reuse the read-only 64KiB scratch page and directories

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

 



If we can prevent stray writes from landing in the scratch page, we can
reuse the same page and same scratch PT for all contexts without fear of
information leaks and side-channels.
