Subject: [PATCH 1/5] drm/i915: Use topdown allocation for PPGTT PDEs on gen6/7
Date: Sat,  3 May 2014 10:55:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399139762-20728-2-git-send-email-benjamin.widawsky@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399139762-20728-1-git-send-email-benjamin.widawsky@intel.com>

It was always the intention to do the topdown allocation for context
objects (Chris' idea originally). Unfortunately, I never managed to land
the patch, but someone else did, so now we can use it.

As a reminder, hardware contexts never need to be in the precious GTT
aperture space - which is what is what happens with the normal bottom up
allocation we do today. Doing a top down allocation increases the odds
that the HW contexts can get out of the way, especially with per FD
contexts as is done in full PPGTT
