When we update the gen6 ppgtt page directories, we do so by writing the new address into a reserved slot in the GGTT. It appears that when the GPU reads that entry from the gsm, it uses its small cache and that we need to invalidate that cache after writing. We don't see an issue currently as we prefill the ppgtt page directories on creation; and only create the single aliasing_ppgtt long before we start using the GGTT (and so before the cache may have a conflicting entry).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
