Subject: Re: 3.15-rc7 i915 related dma-debug warning.

Hi Dave,

You'll get piles of those, and you get to rewrite the (x86) dma
implementation to fix them.

There's two parts of the problem:
- We hang onto dma mappings forever, and we don't enforce any
ownership. Actually we can't since our userspace _wants_ to access
some memory ranges while the gpu is doing the same, usually in a write
ahead or read behind ringbuffer thing. Not sure how to convey this to
the dma functions.
- x86 dma believes everything is cache coherent, which isn't true. So
i915 gets to do it's own dma coherency tracking and cpu flushing
behind everyone's back. Also coherency can be decided on a
per-transaction level, so atm not possible to map that onto the dma
api even. Would be nice though since on atom socs there's other
devices/drivers with noncoherent access, and they all reinvent that
wheel.

Dunno what to do about the warning, it's definitely bogus though.
Adding dri-devel.
-Daniel
