From b08b4b2b25b201df2d667cf70d7f99475e5c7aec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Ekstrand Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 20:40:50 -0500 Subject: anv: Disable the vertex cache when tessellating on SKL GT4 I have no idea if I'm correct about what's going wrong or if this is the correct fix. However, in my multiple weeks of banging my head on this hang, a VUE reference counting bug seems to match all the symptoms and it definitely fixes the hang.
