Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/xe/display: Skip initial plane allocation from stolen memory on RT
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 11:27:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104032732.30681-2-junxiao.chang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104032732.30681-1-junxiao.chang@intel.com>

CPU access to stolen memory ranges can introduce latency spikes that
compromise real-time (RT) guarantees on PREEMPT_RT kernels.

On PREEMPT_RT configurations, bypass retrieving the initial plane's
framebuffer from stolen memory. This forces the driver to fall back to
standard allocations, preventing RT latency degradation at the expense
of seamless boot display takeover.
