I'll probably lead to some ugly surprise. That's why I'd like to > move this either to engine->init_hw or to i915_irq.c. This is sanitize. We do enable it in engine->init_hw(), but the point raised by Ville earlier in his review of GT irq handling is that nobody currently disables the ring IMR before use. Here we have a chicken-and-egg problem, do we duplicate knowledge of available engines (and their mmio_base) in irq preinstall/sanitize or do we do the engine specific mmio in engine initialisation? The problem Turslin was raising was that on future enabling, somebody had enabled the engine IRQ before the engines were initialised (i.e. had completely disregarded the current init_hw sequence). Plonking it in i915_irq.c is not foolproof either! -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
