When mapped into the GTT or used in a command buffer, the backing pages for an object are flushed to memory and marked write combined so as to be coherent - with the GPU.

Likewise, if the CPU accesses an object after the GPU + has finished rendering to the object, then the object must be made + coherent with the CPU's view of memory, usually involving GPU cache flushing of various kinds. This core CPU<->GPU coherency management is provided by the GEM set domain function, which evaluates an object's current domain and |
