[PATCH 3.16 02/99] drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.65-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 55f99bf2a9c331838c981694bc872cd1ec4070b2 upstream.

Exercising the gpu reloc path strenuously revealed an issue where the
updated relocations (from MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM) were not being observed
upon execution. After some experiments with adding pipecontrols (a lot
of pipecontrols (32) as gen4/5 do not have a bit to wait on earlier pipe
controls or even the current on), it was discovered that we merely
needed to delay the EMIT_INVALIDATE by several flushes. It is important
to note that it is the EMIT_INVALIDATE as opposed to the EMIT_FLUSH that
needs the delay as opposed to what one might first expect -- that the
delay is required for the TLB invalidation to take effect (one presumes
to purge any CS buffers) as opposed to a delay after flushing to ensure
the writes have landed before triggering invalidation.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Use intel_ring_emit() instead of assignments
 - Use ring->scratch.gtt_offset instead of i915_ggtt_offset()
 - Use (invalidate_domains & I915_GEM_DOMAIN_INSTRUCTION) instead of
   (mode & EMIT_INVALIDATE)
 - Adjust context]
