Can you please test with one of kernel git | 3.18-rc2 | drm-next together with git revert 59bc1d8?
I've tried it with kernel git 3.18rc2 with a pull a few minutes ago and with `git revert 59bc1d8`. The result looks promising. I've made two benchmarks:
1st 2ndFPS: 18.3 18.1 Score: 765 757 Min FPS: 5.9 6.3 Max FPS: 32.4 31.9
Yes, looks much better, but the code shouldn't touch any relevant (radeonsi/r600g) code paths. - Michel?
On r600g (RV730 AGP) I do NOT see any (real) change with this revert... Maybe we do not hit the real BAD commit.
I didn't include drm-next simply because i don't know how todo that. :) If you want me to test drm-next as well please point me to some documentation how to include it. :)
Alex's drm-next-3.19-wip (it shows 3.17-rc5 ;-) for example: git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/ drm-next-3.19-wip
If you have it already, get it or change it to another tree: cd drm-next-3.19-wip git checkout -b drm-next-3.19-wip remotes/origin/drm-next-3.19-wip
Sometimes you need this: git fetch origin git reset --hard origin/drm-next-3.19-wip
