We can improve upon this for later generations by marking scanout objects as GFDT and only flush those cachelines when required. However, we start simple. [v2: Move the set to uncached above the clflush. Otherwise, we'd skip the clflush and try to scan out data that was still sitting in the cache.] Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c index 9027ee4..26b9e87 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c @@ -3067,6 +3067,19 @@ i915_gem_object_set_to_display_plane(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj, return ret; } + /* The display engine is not coherent with the LLC cache on gen6.
