Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drm/i915: Flush the context object from the CPU caches upon switching
Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:34:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342352064-6749-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (raw)

The issue is that we stale data in the CPU caches, when we come to
swap-out the object, the CPU may short-circuit the reads from those
cacheline and so corrupt the context object.

Secondary, leaving the context object as being marked in the CPU write
domain whilst on the GPU active list is a bad idea and will throw
warnings later.
