It would be nice if one day the DRM driver was the canonical source for
register definitions and core macros. To that end, this patch cleans
things up quite a bit, removing redundant definitions (some with
different names referring to the same register) and generally tidying up
the header file.
In order to avoid recursive ->detect->interrupt->detect->interrupt->...
we need to disable TV hotplug interrupts in
intel_tv.c:intel_tv_detect_type. We also need to enable the TV interrupt
detection and hotplug sequence properly in i915_irq.c.
No need to fill the ring that much; wait for it to become nearly empty
before adding the execbuffer request. A better fix will involve scheduling
ring insertion in the irq handler.
drm_crtc->fb may point to NULL, f.e X server will allocate a new fb
and assign it to the CRTC at startup, when X server exits, it will destroy
the allocated fb, making drm_crtc->fb points to NULL.
pread and pwrite must update the memory domains to ensure consistency with
the GPU. At some point, it should be possible to avoid clflush through this
path, but that isn't working for me.
The exec list contains all objects, in order of use. The lru list contains
only unpinned objects ready to be evicted. This required two changes -- the
first was to not migrate pinned objects from exec to lru, the second was to
search for the first unpinned object in the exec list when doing eviction.
Now, the LRU list has objects that are completely done rendering and ready
to kick out, while the execution list has things with active rendering,
which have associated cookies and reference counts on them.
Even if the TV encoder hasn't been fused off, we may not have a TV connector on
the platform. The BDB in the BIOS should give us this info in some cases.
Domain information is about buffer relationships, not buffer contents. That
means a relocation contains the domain information as it knows how the
source buffer references the target buffer.
This also adds the set_domain ioctl so that user space can move buffers to
the cpu domain.
This should already have been generally safe since we don't change contents
and put in new relocations between execbufs, so if we were writing in a new
relocation then we'd already waited rendering to complete when we moved
the target of the relocation. However, doing the right thing will be required
if we do buffer reuse.
The kernel has removed nopage so move the old nopage codepaths into a compat vm file and switch to using the fault paths.
nopfn is on its way out in the future also, so we should switch to using fault
for that path as well soon
If objects on the lru aren't ref counted, they'll get pulled from the gtt as
soon as they are freed. This change does cause objects to get stuck in the
gtt until they're forced out by new requests. The lru should get cleaned
when the irq occurs.
