Chris Wilson 20fe17aa52 drm/i915: Remove redundant TLB invalidate on switching contexts
We are required to reload the TLBs around context switches
(MI_SET_CONTEXT specifically) and the recommendation is do that before
the MI_SET_CONTEXT so that it is serialised with the switch and not
forgotten:

[DevSNB] If Flush TLB invalidation Mode is enabled it’s the driver’s
responsibility to invalidate the TLBs at least once after the previous
context switch after any GTT mappings changed (including new GTT entries).
This can be done by a pipeline PIPE_CONTROL with TLB inv bit set
immediately before MI_SET_CONTEXT.

However, we already do an unconditional TLB invalidate before every
batch so this condition is satifisfied.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
