ated fashion, to never use the default context, though that limits the driver's ability to swap out, and/or destroy other contexts. All other contexts are created as a request by the GPU client. These contexts store GPU state, and thus allow GPU clients to not re-emit state (and potentially query certain state) at any time. The kernel driver makes certain that the appropriate commands are inserted. There are 4 entry points into the contexts, init, fini, open, close. The names are self-explanatory except that init can be called during reset, and also during pm thaw/resume. As we expect our context to be preserved across these events, we do not reinitialize in this case. As Adam Jackson pointed out, The cutoff of 1MB where a HW context is considered too big is arbitrary. The reason for this is even though context sizes are increasing with every generation, they have yet to eclipse even 32k. If we somehow read back way more than that, it probably means BIOS has done something strange, or we're running on a platform that wasn't designed for this. v2: rename load/unload to init/fini (daniel) remove ILK support for get_size() (indirectly daniel) add HAS_HW_CONTEXTS macro to clarify supported platforms (daniel) added comments (Ben) Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky Hé¤;—.x
