Subject: [PATCH 10/11] drm/xe: Require a fully visible VRAM BAR without a primary GT
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 23:14:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110231442.218721-23-stuart.summers@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110231442.218721-13-stuart.summers@intel.com>
CPU copies can only reach VRAM that the BAR maps: xe_ttm_io_mem_reserve()
rejects any resource that is not entirely CPU visible. With no primary
GT there is no copy engine to fall back on, so a small BAR would leave
most of VRAM unreachable.
Refuse to probe such a device rather than fail later on the first move.
