Do you mean something like:
write_domains = VRAM
read_domains = VRAM | GTT
I don't think it's perfect. We should treat rendering by an app and
blitting by u_blitter (= texture transfers) differently. We don't want
u_blitter to mess up our idea about which textures are used as a
framebuffer, because once u_blitter comes into play, everything can be
a framebuffer.
I've got the following idea:
1) Set the domain to VRAM | GTT by default for all buffers and textures.
2) In set_framebuffer_state, if u_blitter isn't blitting, do this to
the domains of all renderbuffers: if (domains & VRAM) domains &= ~GTT;
That said, I'm not too excited about this. Allowing more stuff to be
moved to GTT will have an adverse effect on performance. Being more
aggressive and trying to put more stuff in VRAM should almost always
be better if you can avoid buffer ping-ponging. I have been messing
with the domains since ever and what we have now seems to work best.
It's not perfect, but I have already tried all the other options and
they weren't better.
