[PATCH 5/6] drm/i915/skl: Only flush pipes when we change the ddb allocation

Lyude cpaul at redhat.com
Wed Jul 20 21:00:01 UTC 2016


Manual pipe flushes are only necessary in order to make sure that we prevent
pipes with changed ddb allocations from overlapping from one another at
any point in time. Additionally, forcing us to wait for the next vblank
every time we have to update the watermark values because the cursor was
moving between screens will introduce a rather noticable lag for users.
