[PATCH 4/6] drm/i915/skl: Always wait for pipes to update after a flush
From: Lyude
Date: Wed Jul 20 2016 - 17:02:06 EST
As we've learned, all watermark updates on Skylake have to be strictly
atomic or things fail. While the bspec doesn't mandate that we need to
wait for pipes to finish after the third iteration of flushes, not doing
so gives us the opportunity to break this atomicity later. This example
assumes that we're lucky enough not to be interrupted by the scheduler
at any point during this:
- Start with pipe A and pipe B enabled
- Enable pipe C
- Flush pipe A in pass 1, wait until update finishes
- Flush pipe B in pass 3, continue without waiting for next vblank
- Start another wm update
- We enter the next vblank for pipe B before we finish writing all the
vm values
- *Underrun*
As such, we always need to wait for each pipe we flush to update so as
to never break this atomicity.
