From b90b91d87038f6b257b40a02b42ed4f9705e06f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:14:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Prefault the entire object on first page fault Inserting additional PTEs has no side-effect for us as the pfn are fixed for the entire time the object is resident in the global GTT. The downside is that we pay the entire cost of faulting the object upon the first hit, for which we in return receive the benefit of removing the per-page faulting overhead.
