Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] drm/v3d: Drop the wait for L2T flush to complete.
Date: Mon,  3 Dec 2018 14:24:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181203222438.25417-4-eric@anholt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181203222438.25417-1-eric@anholt.net>

According to Dave, once you've started an L2T flush, all L2T accesses
will be blocked until the flush completes.  This fixes a consistent
3-4ms stall between the ioctl and running the job, and 3DMMES Taiji
goes from 27fps to 110fps.

v2: Leave a note about why we don't need to wait for completion.

Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>
Fixes: 57692c94dcbe ("drm/v3d: Introduce a new DRM driver for Broadcom V3D V3.x+")
Reviewed-by: Dave Emett <david.emett@broadcom.com> (v1, comment requested)
