Chris Wilson cf66b8a0ba drm/i915/execlists: Apply a full mb before execution for Braswell
Braswell is really picky about having our writes posted to memory before
we execute or else the GPU may see stale values. A wmb() is insufficient
as it only ensures the writes are visible to other cores, we need a full
mb() to ensure the writes are in memory and visible to the GPU.

The most frequent failure in flushing before execution is that we see
stale PTE values and execute the wrong pages.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
