[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Defer late hardware initialisation until first open

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

 



We can do less work during driver load by deferring some of it until
the first time the device is opened; in particular, the function
i915_gem_init_hw_late() introduced by the previous patch. This should
allow the system to get out of the early single-threaded phase of
system initialisation and into full multi-user mode somewhat quicker.

In addition, we expect that by the time of the first open, not only
the driver's software structures but also system-specific items such
as filesystem mounting have been fully initialised, meaning that the
late initialisation code can run in a much more complete environment
than the driver_load stage presents. This can be important for
embedded programmable devices that need firmware loaded from a file
before they can be used.
