Exercising the gpu reloc path strenuously revealed an issue where the updated relocations (from MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM) were not being observed upon execution. After some experiments with adding pipecontrols (a lot of pipecontrols (32) as gen4/5 do not have a bit to wait on earlier pipe controls or even the current on), it was discovered that we merely needed to delay the EMIT_INVALIDATE by several flushes. It is important to note that it is the EMIT_INVALIDATE as opposed to the EMIT_FLUSH that needs the delay as opposed to what one might first expect -- that the delay is required for the TLB invalidation to take effect (one presumes to purge any CS buffers) as opposed to a delay after flushing to ensure the writes have landed before triggering invalidation.

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.
