The code in oa_buffer_check_unlocked() is correct only if the OA buffer is 16 MB aligned (which seems to be the case today in i915). However when the 16 MB alignment is dropped, when we "Subtract partial amount off the tail", the "& (OA_BUFFER_SIZE - 1)" operation in OA_TAKEN() will result in an incorrect hw_tail value. Therefore hw_tail must be brought to the same base as head and read_tail prior to OA_TAKEN by subtracting gtt_offset from hw_tail.

I see partial_report_size is a value in the 0 - report_size range and it may not have the gtt_offset added to it, so I guess the OA_TAKEN may result in a bad value, but I am not able to visualize what the specific issue is. Can you please provide an example with numbers?
Also, slightly confused about the need for this patch. Are we dropping the 16 MB alignment for some reason? If not, I suggest we can add this patch later with any series that drops it.
Thanks, Umesh
