First of all this solution doesn't really work, it just hides the problem because we don't do a world switch in between those two packets any more. And while we could change the SDMA, UVD and VCE firmware do to something similar you can't apply this solution to CPU based flushes. The second issue is that this isn't related to VMHUB flushing at all, it's just that VMHUB flushing is the first thing where you notice that something is wrong. The real problem is that when you access CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE and a bunch of other registers the bus on Vega10 sometimes gets a hickup and drops other reads and writes. So we need to identify those registers and removes all accesses to them, otherwise working with the hardware will just be horrible unreliable in general. Regards, Christian.
