[PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: Allow the sysadmin to override security mitigations

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Sat Jan 9 21:54:12 UTC 2021


The clear-residuals mitigate is a relatively heavy hammer and under some
circumstances the user may wish to forgo the context isolation in order
to meet some performance requirement. Introduce a generic module
parameter to allow selectively enabling/disabling different mitigations.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/1858
Fixes: 47f8253d2b89 ("drm/i915/gen7: Clear all EU/L3 residual contexts")
