 What about the indirect bug?  Did that also go away when you fixed the

In indirect mode, the swap interval was being honoured by the page flipping 
code, but SwapBuffers wasn't blocking; instead, I appeared to be able to 
continue to draw to the backbuffer after issuing SwapBuffers in my application.

In direct mode, SwapBuffers behaved as I'd expect - I blocked as soon as I 
tried to draw, until the swap had completed.

Guessing wildly, when I SwapBuffers in a direct context, I ask the kernel to 
stall me as soon as I draw to the back buffer (which is presumably still in use 
as the real front buffer). When I'm in an indirect context, it's the X server 
process that calls the kernel, which can't block, because that would stop it 
servicing other clients, and it's not blocking me until it discovers 
asynchronously that the kernel has pageflipped.

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Protect mmaped buffers from casual eviction.

2010-05-11 Thread Chris Wilson
By keeping buffers that are in use by the CPU, having been mmapped and
moved to the CPU or GTT domain since their last rendering on a separate
inactive list, prevents the first-pass eviction process from unbinding
one of these buffers. Those buffers are evicted as normal during
evict-everything so that the memory can be recovered under high pressure
or a forced idle.

Couldn't this be more easily handled by the times where you would move
to the tail of mmap, just move to the tail of inactive?  Since inactive
is obj_priv-gtt_space  !obj_priv-active already.

  ick.
  
  static inline unsigned short thm_readw(struct ips_driver *ips, unsigned 
  offset)
  {
  readw(ips-regmap + offset);
  }
  
  would be nicer.
 
 Yes, it would.

No, I take that back, it just means more typing.  This idiom of
expecting a given variable to be declared for the IO routines to work
is pretty common in drivers, and saves a bunch of redundant (ips,
everywhere...

  afacit these messages might come out at one-per-five-seconds max?
  
  I bet the driver blows up and someone's logs get spammed ;)
 
 Possibly. :)  I added these at the request of Pavel; I could make them
 just print one time though...

These should be dev_warn instead anyway.

Updated patch on its way.

The real issue is the inactive list is no longer evicted in LRU, otherwise
just moving to the end of inactive list would be ideal. In benchmarks it
is faster to evict the appropriately sized object rather than iterate
over the inactive list until enough contiguous space has been freed. The
consequence is that the page-fault-of-doom is reintroduced unless some
measure is taken to avoid it. I don't have any figures to suggest what the
average size of the mmap_list will be. As an object is only on the list
until it is used or evict-everything, then the list should be kept quite
short. As our drivers improve, the frequency at which we have to mmap
buffers should reduce as well...

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix HDMI mode select for Cougarpoint PCH

2010-05-11 Thread Zhenyu Wang
For real HDMI sink, CPT HDMI port has to set 'HDMI' mode flag
in order to make HDMI audio work correctly.

This is required patch for drm/i915 to enable HDMI audio on CPT PCH,
