From a1656b9090f7008d2941c314f5a64724bea2ae37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 18:48:03 +0000 Subject: drm/i915: Disable GPU semaphores by default Andi Kleen narrowed his GPU hangs on his Sugar Bay (SNB desktop) rev 09 down to the use of GPU semaphores, and we already know that they appear broken up to Huron River (mobile) rev 08. (I'm optimistic that disabling GPU semaphores is simply hiding another bug by the latency and side-effects of the additional device interaction it introduces...) However, use of semaphores is a massive performance improvement... Only as long as the system remains stable. Enable at your peril.
