That we use a WB mapping for updating the RING_TAIL register inside the context image even on !llc machines has been a source of consternation for every reader. It appears to work on bsw+, but it may just have been that we have been incredibly bad at detecting the errors. v2: With extra enthusiasm. v3: Drop force of map type for pinned default_state as by the time we pin it, the map type is always WB and doesn't conflict with the earlier use by ce->state. v4: Transfer engine->default_state from MAP_WC to MAP_WB on creation so we do not need the MAP_FORCE littered around the backends Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180914123504.2062-3-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
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.
