[PATCH 02/21] drm/i915/gtt: Downgrade Baytrail back to aliasing-ppgtt

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Thu Aug 29 14:14:22 UTC 2019


With the upcoming change in timing (dramatically reducing the latency
between manipulating the ppGTT and execution), no amount of tweaking
could save Baytrail, it would always fail to invalidate its TLB. Ville
was right, Baytrail is beyond hope.

v2: Rollback on all gen7; same timing instability on TLB invalidation.
