Direction from hardware is that ring buffers should never be mapped
via the BAR on systems with LLC. There are too many caching pitfalls
due to the way BAR accesses are routed. So it is safest to just not
use it.

I'm still working through the backlog of them.

Note that these patches must all be applied as a pair. The 'don't use 
stolen' can be applied in isolation but won't totally fix the problem. 
However, applying 'don't use BAR mappings' without applying the stolen 
patch first will results in problems such as the failure to boot that 
was recently reported and resulted in a revert in one of the trees.

I do not understand, you only submitted 1 patch here, what is the
"pair"?

The original patch series was two patches - 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/114080/. One to not use stolen 
memory and the other to not use BAR mappings. If the anti-BAR patch is 
applied without the anti-stolen patch then the i915 driver will attempt 
to access stolen memory directly which will fail. So both patches must 
be applied and in the correct order to fix the problem of cache aliasing 
when using BAR accesses on LLC systems.

As above, I am working my way through the bunch of 'FAILED patch' 
emails. The what-to-do instructions in those emails explicitly say to 
send the patch individually in reply to the 'FAILED' message rather than 
as part of any original series.

John.

So what commits exactly in Linus's tree should be in these stable
branches?  Sorry, I still do not understand if we are missing one or if
we need to revert something.

Hi, Greg,

5.4.237 fails to boot as a Xen PV Dom0.  It hangs after modprobe
i915.ko with no further output, though it seems to response to magic
sysrq.

Reverting 5.4.y commit 1aed78cfda7f17f3cc71cb127a85a188eafc679a
("drm/i915: Don't use BAR mappings for ring buffers with LLC") lets it
boot properly.

Thanks,
Jason

As far as I can tell, I have replied to all the "FAILED: patch" emails 
now. There should be a versions of these two patches available for all 
trees (being 4.14, 4.19, 5.4, 5.10 and 5.15):
     690e0ec8e63d drm/i915: Don't use stolen memory for ring buffers 
with LLC
     85636167e320 drm/i915: Don't use BAR mappings for ring buffers with LLC

They should be applied in the order of 'stolen memory' first and 'BAR 
mappings' second.

Thanks,
John.
