[PATCH] drm/i915: PIPE_CONTROL TLB invalidation fix

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

 



The IVB simulator really doesn't like a TLB invalidate with no post-sync
operation, in fact it blows up in an assertion failure. The
documentation states that we must issue the TLB invalidate with a CS
stall: "Also Requires stall bit ([20] of DW1) set." This patch doesn't
comply with the docs, but we're able to satisfy the simulator with this
very small change, and I think simulator has historically trumped docs.

Note, I don't think this belongs in stable as our TLB invalidation
should be correct since we use the global invalidation per batch. Using
TLB invalidation is itself only a requirement of HW contexts.
