[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/4] drm/i915: Fix missed IRQs on gen6.

Eric Anholt eric at anholt.net
Fri Jun 3 21:20:21 CEST 2011


Our wait-on-interrupts path goes:

I915_WRITE(IMR, enabled_val)
POSTING_READ(IMR);
if (!i915_gem_seqno_passed())
   sleep();

However, the IMR write can still be queued in the GT FIFO even after
the POSTING_READ, since the GT FIFO isn't implementing PCI semantics.
Yay.  So, when we're doing a POSTING_READ, we get to check that the
FIFO is empty, and unfortunately to check that the FIFO is empty, it
appears we have to do the FORCEWAKE dance.

Previously, piglit copypixels-sync test had about a 0.5% chance of
triggering a missed IRQ (meaning I've never seen 500 successful runs
without a failure).  With this pair of patches, I'm at 5700 clean runs
as I type this.
