    drm/i915/dsb: Correct DSB command buffer cache coherency settings · 631b117e
    Ville Syrjälä authored
    The display engine does not snoop the caches so we should mark
    the DSB command buffer as I915_CACHE_NONE.
    i915_gem_object_create_internal() always gives us I915_CACHE_LLC
    on LLC platforms. And to make things 100% correct we should also
    clflush at the end, if necessary.
    
    Note that currently this is a non-issue as we always write the
    command buffer through a WC mapping, so a cache flush is not actually
    needed. But we might actually want to consider a WB mapping since
    we also end up reading from the command buffer (in the indexed
    reg write handling). Either that or we should do something else
    to avoid those reads (might actually be even more sensible on DGFX
    since we end up reading over PCIe). But we should measure the overhead
    first...
    
    Anyways, no real harm in adding the belts and suspenders here so
    that the code will work correctly regardless of how we map the
    buffer. If we do get a WC mapping (as we request)
    i915_gem_object_flush_map() will be a nop. Well, apart form
    a wmb() which may just flush the WC buffer a bit earlier
    than would otherwise happen (at the latest the mmio accesses
    would trigger the WC flush).
