Subject: agp/intel: Flush all chipset writes after updating the GGTT
From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8516673a996870ea0ceb337ee4f83c33c5ec3111 ]
Before accessing the GGTT we must flush the PTE writes and make them
visible to the chipset, or else the indirect access may end up in the
wrong page. In commit 3497971a71d8 ("agp/intel: Flush chipset writes
after updating a single PTE"), we noticed corruption of the uploads for
pwrite and for capturing GPU error states, but it was presumed that the
explicit calls to intel_gtt_chipset_flush() were sufficient for the
execbuffer path. However, we have not been flushing the chipset between
the PTE writes and access via the GTT itself.
For simplicity, do the flush after any PTE update rather than try and
batch the flushes on a just-in-time basis.
