From 2947e4080f22b63b46dbbb95e838396b58a9914b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2016 15:37:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/execlists: Request the kernel context be pinned high PIN_HIGH is an expensive operation (in comparison to allocating from the hole stack) unsuitable for frequent use (such as switching between contexts). However, the kernel context should be pinned just once for the lifetime of the driver, and here it is appropriate to keep it out of the mappable range (in order to maximise mappable space for users).
