Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/panthor: Move cache-flush after UPDATE(UNMAPPED)
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 14:30:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924-panthor-mmu-fixes-v1-3-e25f9b106466@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924-panthor-mmu-fixes-v1-0-e25f9b106466@collabora.com>

Right now, there's a theoretical window during which the GPU can populate
the cache with data from a VM that's about to be evicted through the
UPDATE(UNMAPPED) command.
In practice this won't happen (hence the absence of Fixes tag) because
when panthor_mmu_as_disable() is called, the VM is guaranteed to be idle
(no active CSG pointing to this VM), but as we say, better safe than
sorry.
