Subject: [PATCH 08/10] drm/xe: Drop unnecessary STOP_RING clearing
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:48:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423-engine-setup-v1-8-baa94014e3e5@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423-engine-setup-v1-0-baa94014e3e5@intel.com>
The STOP_RING bit in MI_MODE is already clear by default out of hardware
reset and will only be '1' if the driver intentionally sets it after
that. Furthermore, MI_MODE is part of the CSFE context, so even if the
hardware bit did somehow get set, a fresh value with the bit clear would
be re-loaded from the LRC (which is initialized zeroed).
The logic of clearing this bit appears to originate from very
early (pre-GuC, pre-execlist) code in i915 where we needed to stop the
ring before performing a host-initiated engine reset; after the reset
the STOP_RING bit needed to be cleared to allow execution to resume.
None of that is relevant to Xe (or even modern i915) since STOP_RING
isn't necessary for execlist-based engine resets (and even if it were,
Xe doesn't initiate any engine resets; the GuC handles that now).
Bspec: 60356, 60184
