I understand what you say. Let me think about other approach. My requirement is to do nothing if a context doesn't have a ppgtt, but ctx->ppgtt == NULL means context is using aliasing ppgtt, so I need to find another way to achieve this. -----Original Message----- From: Tvrtko Ursulin [mailto:tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2016 6:31 AM To: Wang, Zhi A <zhi.a.wang@xxxxxxxxx>; intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Gordon, David S <david.s.gordon@xxxxxxxxx>; joonas.lahtinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Tian, Kevin <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>; Lv, Zhiyuan <zhiyuan.lv@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [PATCH 05/15] drm/i915: Set ctx->ppgtt for aliasing PPGTT in context creation On 15/05/16 18:32, Zhi Wang wrote: > Currently ctx->ppgtt would only be initialized when full PPGTT is used. > For aliasing PPGTT mode, ctx->ppgtt will be set when LRC context is > populated. > > This patch moves the assignment into i915_gem_create_context() for > better code structure. Hm, it doesn't move the assignment it adds it. Previously ctx->ppgtt was always NULL when !USES_FULL_PPGTT. Now it will point to aliasing ppgtt. Since there are various places in the code which do "if (ctx->ppgtt)" (more or less) I think you need to explain why those will still work OK. i915_gem_context_free for example?
