Crap, do you have a link to the failure?

I forgot to say: The NOALLOC flag causes an allocation failure, so
there is a kernel bug somewhere.

FYI, I think it's time to merge this because the Mesa commits are
going to be merged in ~30 minutes if Gitlab CI is green, and that
includes updated amdgpu_drm.h.

It really *is* a NOALLOC feature. In other words there is
no latency improvement on reads because the cache is
always checked, even with the noalloc flag set.
The only thing it affects is that misses not enter the
cache and so don't cause any additional pressure on
evicting cache lines.
You might want to double check with the hardware guys, but
I'm something like 95% sure that it works this way.

Bypass means that the contents of the cache are ignored,
which decreases latency at the cost of no coherency
between bypassed and normal memory requests. NOA
(noalloc) means that the cache is checked and can give
you cache hits, but misses are not cached and the overall
latency is higher. I don't know what the hw does, but I
hope it was misnamed and it really means bypass because
there is no point in doing cache lookups on every memory
request if the driver wants to disable caching to
*decrease* latency in the situations when the cache isn't
helping.

One more - AMDGPU_VM_PAGE_LLC_* [ LLC = last level
cache, * = some sort
of attribute which decides LLC behaviour]
