From 14daa63b277b73a91ca084acee9e31365c7283e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 08:44:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Stop marking the unaccessible scratch page as UC Since by design, if not entirely by practice, nothing is allowed to access the scratch page we use to background fill the VM, then we do not need to ensure that it is coherent between the CPU and GPU. set_pages_uc() does a stop_machine() after changing the PAT, and that significantly impacts upon context creation throughput.
