Here, I am looking for an explanation of why these commands in particular are desired. Mika's short explanation that must be the same for all contexts on the system is sufficient. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre ___ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx

The command to enable this mode is sent in auxiliary golden context batch as this is only issued once with each context initialization. Thanks to Mika for the preliminary review. A quick explanation for why this has to be in the kernel would be nice. Privileged instruction? This purpose of auxiliary batch is explained in patch2, but I can add some explanation about this one also. Not fond of the split between this and patch 4. Patch 4 intoduces one feature flag that looks different to the one we use here to enable support. I will patch4 as separate as it deals with libdrm changes but use the feature flag in this one. regards Arun -Chris ___ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx

Once set, it has to stay same across all contexts until subsequent fw reset. -Mika > Not fond of the split between this and patch 4.
