From 6146b3d61925116e3fecce36c2fd873665bd6614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 21:22:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: i8xx also doesn't like multiple oustanding pageflips My i855GM suffers from a 80k/s interrupt storm without this. So add 2nd gen to the list of things that don't like more than one outstanding pageflip request. Furthermore I've changed the busy loop into a ringbuffer wait. Busy-loops that don't check whether the chip died are simply evil. And performance should actually improve, because there's usually a decent amount of rendering queued on the gpu, hopefully rendering that MI_WAIT into a noop by the time it's executed. The current code holds dev->struct_mutex while executing this loop, hence stalling all other gem activity anyway.
