Unfortunately, I never managed to land the patch, but someone else did, so now we can use it. As a reminder, hardware contexts never need to be in the precious GTT aperture space - which is what is what happens with the normal bottom up allocation we do today. Doing a top down allocation increases the odds that the HW contexts can get out of the way, especially with per FD contexts as is done in full PPGTT Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter --- diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c index 1827b4b349a1..84dcb4e00d4c 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c @@ -1035,8 +1035,7 @@ alloc: &ppgtt->node, GEN6_PD_SIZE, GEN6_PD_ALIGN, 0, 0, dev_priv->gtt.base.total, - DRM_MM_SEARCH_DEFAULT, - DRM_MM_CREATE_DEFAULT); + DRM_MM_TOPDOWN); if (ret == -ENOSPC && !retried) { ret = i915_gem_evict_something(dev, &dev_priv->gtt.base, GEN6_PD_SIZE, GEN6_PD_ALIGN,
