Revision cf66b8a0ba142fbd1bf10ac8f3ae92d1b0cb7b8f authored by Chris Wilson on 06 December 2018, 08:44:31 UTC, committed by Joonas Lahtinen on 12 December 2018, 07:06:14 UTC
Braswell is really picky about having our writes posted to memory before
we execute or else the GPU may see stale values. A wmb() is insufficient
as it only ensures the writes are visible to other cores, we need a full
mb() to ensure the writes are in memory and visible to the GPU.

The most frequent failure in flushing before execution is that we see
stale PTE values and execute the wrong pages.
