Revert "drm/i915: enable rc6 on ilk again"
Even with the cumulative set of ilk w/a, rc6 is demonstrably still failing and causing GPU hangs as found by Peter Wu. So we need to disable it again until it is stable. This reverts commit 456470eb Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Wed Aug 8 23:35:40 2012 +0200 drm/i915: enable rc6 on ilk again and the follow-on commit cd7988ee Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Sun Aug 26 20:33:18 2012 +0200 drm/i915: disable rc6 on ilk when vt-d is enabled Note: The situation around the gen4/5 gpu hangs that cropped up in 3.7 is rather strange. Most useful bisects have lead to commit 6c085a72 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Mon Aug 20 11:40:46 2012 +0200 drm/i915: Track unbound pages or even later commits that affect the gem bo recycling, which all is way past the point where we re-enabled rc6. But somehow reverting/disabling those commits doesn't help, but disabling rc6 at least helps for many hangs on ilk. Obviously it doesn't change anything at all on gen4, and there are still strange issues left on gen5 (which we unfortunately can't readily reproduce). Also, the error_state signature of the hangs which can be fixed with this patch look remarkably different to those which seem to be unaffected by the rc6 settings: The rc6 hangs are in the ring, somewhere in the MI_FLUSH/PIPE_CONTROL sequence to make ilk coherent, wheras all the other hangs tend to be at a random point in the middle of the user batch. So it could also be that we have different issues. Until we grow more clue, this at least helps some users.
