intel/isl: Stop padding surfaces
The docs contain a bunch of commentary about the need to pad various
surfaces out to multiples of something or other. However, all of those
requirements are about avoiding GTT errors due to missing pages when the
data port or sampler accesses slightly out-of-bounds. However, because
the kernel already fills all the empty space in our GTT with the scratch
page, we never have to worry about faulting due to OOB reads. There are
two caveats to this:
1) There is some potential for issues with caches here if extra data
ends up in a cache we don't expect due to OOB reads. However,
because we always trash the entire cache whenever we need to move
anything between cache domains, this shouldn't be an issue.
2) There is a potential issue if a surface gets placed at the very top
of the GTT by the kernel. In this case, the hardware could
potentially end up trying to read past the top of the GTT. If it
nicely wraps around at the 48-bit (or 32-bit) boundary, then this
shouldn't be an issue thanks to the scratch page. If it doesn't,
then we need to come up with something to handle it.
Up until some of the GL move to ISL, having the padding code in there
just caused us to harmlessly use a bit more memory in Vulkan. However,
now that we're using ISL sizes to validate external dma-buf images,
these padding requirements are causing us to reject otherwise valid
images due to the size of the BO being too small.
