Daniel Vetter 97f209bcfc drm/i915: "Flush Me Harder" required on gen6+
The prep to remove the flushing list in

commit cc889e0f6c

    drm/i915: disable flushing_list/gpu_write_list

causes quite some decent regressions. We can fix this by setting the
CS_STALL bit to ensure that the following seqno write happens only
after the cache flush has completed. But only do that when the caller
actually wants the flush (and not also when we invalidate caches
before starting the next batch).

I've looked through all our ancient scrolls about gen6+ pipe control
workarounds, and this seems to be indeed a legal combination: We're
allowed to set the CS_STALL bit when we flush the render cache (which
we do).

While yelling at this code, also pass back the return value from
intel_emit_post_sync_nonzero_flush properly.

v2: Instead of emitting more pipe controls, set the CS_STALL bit on
the write flush as suggested by Chris Wilson. It seems to work, too.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
