Subject: [PATCH v9 12/16] drm/panfrost: Skip cache flush/invalidate when enabling perfcnt
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:28:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912-claude-fixes-v9-12-e588feaa61ef@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912-claude-fixes-v9-0-e588feaa61ef@collabora.com>
The GPU cache flush/invalidate operation is unnecessary. First off, the
GPU doesn't read off the perfcnt sample buffer, only writes into it, so
an invalidate doesn't make a difference. Then flushing GPU caches after
each sample has been written is enough for the CPU to see updated values.
