Instead of relying on hardware defaults the i915 kernel driver is going program custom MOCS tables system-wide on Gen9 hardware. The "WT" entry previously used for renderbuffers had a number of problems: It disabled caching on eLLC, it used a reserved L3 cacheability setting, and it used to override the PTE controls making renderbuffers always WT on LLC regardless of the kernel's setting. Instead use an entry from the new MOCS tables with parameters: TC=LLC/eLLC, LeCC=PTE, L3CC=WB.
Even though the corresponding kernel change is in a way an ABI break it doesn't seem necessary to check that the kernel is recent enough because the change should only affect Gen9 which is still unreleased hardware. --- Note that this change is based on Ville's "[PATCH 1/2] i965: House MOCS settings in brw_context/brw_device_info": http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2015-June/086665.html src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_defines.h | 16 +++++++++++----- src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_device_info.c | 5 +++-- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_defines.h b/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_defines.h index 497da9c..2889118 100644 --- a/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_defines.h +++ b/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_defines.h @@ -2499,12 +2499,18 @@ enum brw_wm_barycentric_interp_mode { */ #define CHV_MOCS_L3 0x78 -/* Skylake: MOCS is now an index into an array of 64 different configurable - * cache settings.
