[PATCH] drm/i915: Increase WM memory latency values on SNB with high pixel clock

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

 



From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On SNB the BIOS provided WM memory latency values seem insufficient to
handle high resolution displays.

In this particular case the display mode was a 2560x1440@60Hz, which
makes the pixel clock 241.5 MHz. It was empirically found that a memory
latency value if 1.2 usec is enough to avoid underruns, whereas the BIOS
provided value of 0.7 usec was clearly too low. Incidentally 1.2 usec
is what the typical BIOS provided values are on IVB systems.

Increase the WM memory latency values to 1.2 usec when encountering a
display mode with pixel clock exceeding 225 MHz. 225 MHz was chosen as
the threshold simply because that's the documented limit of SNB with
HDMI, so one might surmise that the hardware may have been tested up
to that frequency. In theory the latency shouldn't depend on the pixel
clock at all. So it may be that we should just increase the latency
values across the board for all SNB systems. But for now I'm inclined
to limit this quirk to only those cases that are proven to need it,
as doing otherwise might cause some increase in power consumption for
everyone.

I'm just relaying the patch from bugzilla to the list as it seems to fix
the bug. Don't ask me anything about it.

BR,
Jani.
