This flag allows userspace to give the kernel a hint that it should use a non-snooped resource. To guarantee coherency at all times mappings into userspace are done write combined, so userspace should avoid reading back from those resources.
Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <dev at lynxeye.de> --- On x86 an optimized userspace can save up on snoop traffic in the system, on ARM the benefits are potentially much larger, as we can save the manual cache flush/invalidate. --- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c | 11 ++++++++++- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.h | 1 + include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c index f4a2eb9..c5fcbcc 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c @@ -231,6 +231,12 @@ nouveau_bo_new(struct drm_device *dev, int size, int align, nouveau_bo_fixup_align(nvbo, flags, &align, &size); nvbo->bo.mem.num_pages = size >> PAGE_SHIFT; + + if (tile_flags & NOUVEAU_GEM_TILE_WCUS) + nvbo->valid_caching = TTM_PL_FLAG_UNCACHED | TTM_PL_FLAG_WC; + else + nvbo->valid_caching = TTM_PL_MASK_CACHING; + nouveau_bo_placement_set(nvbo, flags, 0); acc_size = ttm_bo_dma_acc_size(&drm->ttm.bdev, size, @@ -292,7 +298,7 @@ void nouveau_bo_placement_set(struct nouveau_bo *nvbo, uint32_t type, uint32_t busy) { struct ttm_placement *pl = &nvbo->placement; - uint32_t flags = TTM_PL_MASK_CACHING | + uint32_t flags = nvbo->valid_caching | (nvbo->pin_refcnt ?
