The issue lies in that the CS and EU units like to prefetch 128 bytes and will cross page boundaries. Userspace is rather lax in providing the extra page (or preventing the read past the end of its bo) and so without adding a sentinel page behind every bo you quickly generate false positives. (Unless you also run a fixed userspace). If you are prepared to fix userspace, tweaking the kernel not to install scratch pages everywhere is trivial. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
