[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 02/27] drm/i915: Mark CPU cache as dirty on every transition for CPU writes

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Wed Apr 19 09:41:18 UTC 2017


Currently, we only mark the CPU cache as dirty if we skip a clflush.
This leads to some confusion where we have to ask if the object is in
the write domain or missed a clflush. If we always mark the cache as
dirty, this becomes a much simply question to answer.

The goal remains to do as few clflushes as required and to do them as
late as possible, in the hope of deferring the work to a kthread and not
block the caller (e.g. execbuf, flips).
