One possibility is that DC6 enables deeper system level power states and this causes latency elsewhere. What are the PC state residencies shown by powertop or the kernel's tools/power/x86/turbostat when DMC is loaded and not? What's the effect of limiting max_cstates to 0 (and having DMC loaded)? An other problem could be that the GPU is trying to access the display, (maybe checking scan line counts or something?). Does /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_dmc_info show any transitions during the test when DMC is loaded?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
