radeonsi: completely rework updating descriptors without CP DMA
The patch has a better explanation. Just a summary here: - The CPU always uploads a whole descriptor array to previously-unused memory. - CP DMA isn't used. - No caches need to be flushed. - All descriptors are always up-to-date in memory even after a hang, because CP DMA doesn't serve as a middle man to update them. This should bring: - better hang recovery (descriptors are always up-to-date) - better GPU performance (no KCACHE and TC flushes) - worse CPU performance for partial updates (only whole arrays are uploaded) - less used IB space (no CP_DMA and WRITE_DATA packets) - simpler code - hopefully, some of the corruption issues with SI cards will go away. If not, we'll know the issue is not here. Reviewed-by: Michel Dänzer <[email protected]>
