Subject: [PATCH 4.8 082/125] drm/vmwgfx: Avoid validating views on view destruction
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2016 09:50:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161029134950.585499918@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161029134947.232372651@linuxfoundation.org>
4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com>
commit a19440304db2d97aed5cee9bfa5017c98d2348bf upstream.
When a view destruction command was present in the command stream, the
view was validated to avoid a device error. That caused excessive and
unnecessary validations of views, surfaces and mobs on view destruction.
Replace this with a new relocation type that patches the view
destruction command to a NOP if the view is not present in the device
after the execbuf validation sequence.
Also add checks for the member size of the vmw_res_relocation struct.
Fixes sporadic command submission errors on google-earth exit.
