drm/i915: Suppress spurious vblank interrupts
Hugh Dickins found that characters in xterm were going missing and oft delayed. Being the curious type, he managed to associate this with the new high-precision vblank patches; disabling these he found, restored the orderliness of his characters. The oddness begins when one realised that Hugh was not using vblanks at all on his system (fvwm and some xterms). Instead, all he had to go on were warning of a pipe underrun, curiously enough at around 60Hz. He poked and found that in addition to the underrun warning, the hardware was flagging the start of a new frame, a vblank, which in turn was kicking off the pending vblank processing code. There is little we can do for the underruns on Hugh's machine, a Crestline [965GM], which must have its FIFO watermarks set to 8. However, we do not need to process the vblank if we know that they are disabled... Reported-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>
