Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: don't invalidate caches in RELEASE_MEM, only do the writeback
Date: Tue,  2 Jul 2019 14:29:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190702182901.22491-1-maraeo@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Marek Olšák <marek.olsak@amd.com>

This RELEASE_MEM use has the Release semantic, which means we should write
back but not invalidate. Invalidations only make sense with the Acquire
semantic (ACQUIRE_MEM), or when RELEASE_MEM is used to do the combined
Acquire-Release semantic, which is a barrier, not a fence.

The undesirable side effect of doing invalidations for the Release semantic
is that it invalidates caches while shaders are running, because the Release
can execute in the middle of the next IB.

UMDs should use ACQUIRE_MEM at the beginning of IBs. Doing cache
invalidations for a fence (like in this case) doesn't do anything
for correctness.
