Remove the flag TTM_PL_FLAG_WC of VRAM to fix writecombine issue for Loongson64 to work well with ATI Radeon or AMD GPU, and it has no any influence on the other platforms.well it's not my call to take or reject this patch, but I already indicated it might be better to disable writecombine on the CPU detection side (or do you have other devices where writecombining works ?). Something like below will disbale it for all loongson64 CPUs. If you now find out where it works and where it doesn't, you can even reduce it to the required minium of affected CPUs.
Hi Tiezhu, Thomas, Yes, writecombine works well on LS7A's internal GPU.... And even works well with some AMD GPUs (in my case, RX550). Tiezhu, is it possible to investigate the issue deeper in Loongson? Probably we just need to add some barrier to maintain the data coherency, or disable writecombine for AMD GPU's command buffer and leave texture/frame buffer wc accelerated. Thanks. - Jiaxun
