The 128'th write went through. Perhaps the max command length is then less in older gens? Perhaps WARN_ON(x > 128) in MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM would be in place but one needs minor tweak to command parser a bit also then. #define I915_MAX_WA_REGS 16 keeps us safe for now atleast. -Mika > -- > Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
