Global GTT doesn't have pat_sel[2:0] so it always point to pat_sel = 000; So the only way to avoid screen corruptions is setting PAT 0 to Uncached. MOCS can still be used though. But if userspace is trusting PTE for cache selection the safest thing to do is to let caches disabled. BSpec: "For GGTT, there is NO pat_sel[2:0] from the entry, so RTL will always use the value corresponding to pat_sel = 000" - System agent ggtt writes (i.e. cpu gtt mmaps) already work before this patch, i.e. the same uncached + snooping access like on gen6/7 seems to be in effect. - So this just fixes blitter/render access. Again it looks like it's not just uncached access, but uncached + snooping. So we can still hold onto all our assumptions wrt cpu clflushing on LLC machines. v2: Cleaner patch as suggested by Chris. v3: Add Daniel's comment Reference: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85576 Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: James Ausmus <james.ausmus@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tested-by: James Ausmus <james.ausmus@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: James Ausmus <james.ausmus@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c index cb7adab..6d3fb3c 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c @@ -1920,6 +1920,22 @@ static void bdw_setup_private_ppat(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv) GEN8_PPAT(6, GEN8_PPAT_WB | GEN8_PPAT_LLCELLC | GEN8_PPAT_AGE(2)) | GEN8_PPAT(7, GEN8_PPAT_WB | GEN8_PPAT_LLCELLC | GEN8_PPAT_AGE(3)); + if (!USES_PPGTT(dev_priv->dev)) + /* Spec: "For GGTT, there is NO pat_sel[2:0] from the entry, + * so RTL will always use the value corresponding to + * pat_sel = 000". + * So let's disable cache for GGTT to avoid screen corruptions. + * MOCS still can be used though. + * - System agent ggtt writes (i.e. cpu gtt mmaps) already work + * before this patch, i.e. the same uncached + snooping access + * like on gen6/7 seems to be in effect. + * - So this just fixes blitter/render access.
