intel-gpu-tools patches for read/write MMIO

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

 



Can you just post them externally to intel-gfx at lists.freedesktop.org?
It's best to use git send-email to do it, that way the changelogs are
preserved and posted to the ml along with the patches.

Not sure if there's a bunch of duplication between the two, but you
could split them up a bit.

I still don't like the idea of silently adding the display offset on
vlv; these are just debug tools and the developer should get the
absolute offset they asked for no matter what.

But if that function is being re-used by other internal tests like "dump display regs" or something, then an internal function could pass in that value - i.e. the option to explicitly say if its display or not should still be there.

Personally, I think the dump range never belonged in read/write, but that predated me.

And in other cases, this tool will decide based on the same IS_DISPLAY macro in the kernel driver. (the optional override is important since we have overlapping IRQ and some other registers that have the same offset for both render and display and those cases require explicit mention).
