Chris Wilson 2267f68404 drm/i915/gt: Flush gen3 relocs harder, again
gen3 does not fully flush MI stores to memory on MI_FLUSH, such that a
subsequent read from e.g. the sampler can bypass the store and read the
stale value from memory. This is a serious issue when we are using MI
stores to rewrite the batches for relocation, as it means that the batch
is reading from random user/kernel memory. While it is particularly
sensitive [and detectable] for relocations, reading stale data at any
time is a worry.

Having started with a small number of delaying stores and doubling until
no more incoherency was seen over a few hours (with and without
background memory pressure), 32 was the magic number.

Note that it definitely doesn't fix the issue, merely adds a long delay
between requests, sufficient to mostly hide the problem, enough to raise
the mtbf to several hours. This is merely a stop gap.

v2: Follow more closer with the gen5 w/a and include some
post-invalidate flushes as well.

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.
