Pixel,

On drm-next, we always allocate 8DW for all WB, you can check the wb_get routine on detail

OK I get it…
when we use the fence_offs to submit fence to HW, in fact it’s a 8 DW fence not a 2 DW.

The format is:
Completed Fence      0x0 Fence written here if frame completed normally
Preempted Fence      0x2 Bit set in CP_VMID_PREEMPT and preemption occurred
Reset Fence          0x4 Bit is set in CP_VMID_RESET and reset occurred
Preempted then Reset 0x6 Both preemption and reset occurred

					
				
			
		
	
Then I notice that the 8DW wb allocation patch is missed on staging driver.


Hi Monk,

Can you take a look? I thought the 8DW WB patch is already upstream.
