Different issue (or should be). The ioremap concerns access through the PCI BAR, affecting how fast we insert entries into the GGTT (so establishing new mmaps following frequent runtime pm, loading of new contexts + rings, as well as the stressful GGTT thrashing). PPAT affects how the device accesses the physical pages, not the PTE themselves. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
