Changbin Du f846c8de64 drm/i915/gvt: Optimize ring siwtch 2x faster by removing unnecessary POSTING_READ
There are lots of POSTING_READ alongside each mmio write Op. While
actually this is not necessary. It just bring too much latency since
PCIe read Op is very slow which is of non-posted transaction.

For PCIe device, the mem transaction for strong ordering rules are:
  o PCIe mmio write sequence is FIFO. Posted request cannot
    pass previous posted request.
  o PCIe mmio read will not go ahead of previous write.

Intel graphics doesn't support RO, so we can apply above rules. In
our case, we only need one POSTING_READ at last. This can remove
half of mmio read Op and then the average ring switch performance
is nearly doubled.
         Before       After
cycles  ~970000      ~550000

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
