[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/8] drm/i915: Synchronize pread/pwrite with wait_rendering

[Ben Widawsky]

lifted from Daniel:
pread/pwrite isn't about the object's domain at all, but purely about
synchronizing for outstanding rendering. Replacing the call to
set_to_gtt_domain with a wait_rendering would imo improve code
readability. Furthermore we could pimp pread to only block for
outstanding writes and not for reads.

Since you're not the first one to trip over this: Can I volunteer you
for a follow-up patch to fix this?
