Crap, do you have a link to the failure?<br>

<div> It really *is* a NOALLOC feature. In other words
there is no latency improvement on reads because the
cache is always checked, even with the noalloc flag
set.<br>
<br>
The only thing it affects is that misses not enter
the cache and so don't cause any additional pressure
on evicting cache lines.<br>
<br>
You might want to double check with the hardware
guys, but I'm something like 95% sure that it works
this way.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Bypass means that the contents of
the cache are ignored, which decreases latency
at the cost of no coherency between bypassed

means that the cache is checked and can give
you cache hits, but misses are not cached and
the overall latency is higher. I don't know
what the hw does, but I hope it was misnamed
and it really means bypass because there is no
point in doing cache lookups on every memory
request if the driver wants to disable caching
to *decrease* latency in the situations when
the cache isn't helping.<br>

One more - AMDGPU_VM_PAGE_LLC_* [ LLC = last
