[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Use Write-Through cacheing for the display plane on Iris

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Tue Jul 30 19:45:12 CEST 2013


Haswell GT3e has the unique feature of supporting Write-Through cacheing
of objects within the eLLC/LLC. The purpose of this is to enable the display
plane to remain coherent whilst objects lie resident in the eLLC/LLC - so
that we, in theory, get the best of both worlds, perfect display and fast
access.

v2: Actually do the clflush on transition to WT, nagging by Ville.
