Chris Wilson e22d8e3c69 drm/i915: Treat WC a separate cache domain
When discussing a new WC mmap, we based the interface upon the
assumption that GTT was fully coherent. How naive! Commits 3b5724d702
("drm/i915: Wait for writes through the GTT to land before reading
back") and ed4596ea99 ("drm/i915/guc: WA to address the Ringbuffer
coherency issue") demonstrate that writes through the GTT are indeed
delayed and may be overtaken by direct WC access. To be safe, if
userspace is mixing WC mmaps with other potential GTT access (pwrite,
GTT mmaps) it should use set_domain(WC).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
