Fixes to both the LRC and the legacy ringbuffer code to correctly calculate and update the available space in a ring. The logical ring code was updating the software ring 'head' value by reading the hardware 'HEAD' register. In LRC mode, this is not valid as the hardware is not necessarily executing the same context that is being processed by the software. Thus reading the h/w HEAD could put an unrelated (undefined, effectively random) value into the s/w 'head' -- A Bad Thing for the free space calculations. In addition, the old code could update a ringbuffer's 'head' value from the 'last_retired_head' even when the latter hadn't been recently updated and therefore had a value of -1; this would also confuse the freespace calculations. Now, we consume 'last_retired_head' in just one place, ensuring that this confusion does not arise. _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
