      drm/i915: Convert hangcheck from a timer into a delayed work item · 737b1506
      Chris Wilson authored
      When run as a timer, i915_hangcheck_elapsed() must adhere to all the
      rules of running in a softirq context. This is advantageous to us as we
      want to minimise the risk that a driver bug will prevent us from
      detecting a hung GPU. However, that is irrelevant if the driver bug
      prevents us from resetting and recovering. Still it is prudent not to
      rely on mutexes inside the checker, but given the coarseness of
      dev->struct_mutex doing so is extremely hard.
      
      Give in and run from a work queue, i.e. outside of softirq.

      agp/intel: Serialise after GTT updates · 983d308c
      Chris Wilson authored
      An interesting bug occurs on Pineview through which the root cause is
      that the writes of the PTE values into the GTT is not serialised with
      subsequent memory access through the GTT (when using WC updates of the
      PTE values). This is despite there being a posting read after the GTT
      update. However, by changing the address of the posting read, the memory
      access is indeed serialised correctly.
      
      Whilst we are manipulating the memory barriers, we can remove the
      compiler :memory restraint on the intermediate PTE writes knowing that
      we explicitly perform a posting read afterwards.
      
      v2: Replace posting reads with explicit write memory barriers - in
      particular this is advantages in case of single page objects. Update
      comments to mention this issue is only with WC writes.
