From 0a58705b2fc3fa29525cf2fdae3d4276a5771280 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Sun, 9 Jan 2011 21:05:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Periodically flush the active lists and requests In order to retire active buffers whilst no client is active, we need to insert our own flush requests onto the ring. This is useful for servers that queue up some rendering and then go to sleep as it allows us to the complete processing of those requests, potentially making that memory available again much earlier.
