[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 5/6] i965: Always flush caches after blitting to a GL buffer object.

[Kenneth Graunke]

When we blit data into a buffer object, we may need to invalidate any
caches that might contain stale data, so the new data becomes visible.

For example, if the buffer object is bound as a vertex buffer, we need
to invalidate the vertex fetch cache.

While this flushing was missing, it usually happened implicitly for
non-obvious reasons: we're usually on the render ring, and calling
intel_emit_linear_blit() would require switching to the BLT ring,
causing an implicit flush.  This likely provoked the kernel to do
PIPE_CONTROLs on our behalf.  Although, Gen4-5 wouldn't have this
behavior.  At any rate, we should do it ourselves.
