[RFC] xf86-video-intel: enable hw-generated binding tables

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

 



This patch series enables resource streamer for xf86-video-intel UXA.

Fixes i965 Mesa driver that makes use of resource streamer optimization
to survive a full piglit run without bricking the machine. Previously,
I get random hungs when doing a full piglit round when enabling RS. 
After months of head-scratching, I noticed I didn't quite pay attention
to this small detail in bspec:

 "The binding table generator feature has a simple all or nothing
  model. If HW generated binding tables are enabled, the driver must enable
  the pool and use 3D_HW_BINDING_TABLE_POINTER_* commands."

I realized that our xf86-video-intel driver is piping out 3D commands
as well that used the older manual-generated binding table format
that caused a conflict when Mesa is using the hw-generated binding table 
format.

I didn't touch the SNA and video acceleration paths yet. Please let me know
if I'm on the right track.

To use the feature, set in xorg.conf:

Option "ResourceStreamer" "true"
