Flushing the cachelines for an object is slow, can be as much as 100ms for a large framebuffer. We currently do this under the struct_mutex BKL on execution or on pageflip. But now with the ability to add fences to obj->resv for both flips and execbuf (and we naturally wait on the fence before CPU access), we can move the clflush operation to a workqueue and signal a fence for completion, thereby doing the work asynchronously and not blocking the driver or its clients. v2: Introduce i915_gem_clflush.h and use a new name, split out some extras into separate patches.

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.
