Recently discovered in commit bdae33b8b82b ("drm/i915: Use maximum write flush for pwrite_gtt") was that we needed to our full write barrier before changing the GGTT PTE to ensure that our indirect writes through the GTT landed before the PTE changed (and the writes end up in a different page). That also applies to our GGTT relocation path.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
