In micro-benchmarking of the usual pwrite use-pattern of alternating
pwrites with gtt domain reads from the gpu, this yields around 30%
improvement of pwrite throughput across all buffers size. The trick is
that we can avoid clflush cachelines that we will overwrite completely
anyway.
Furthermore for partial pwrites it gives a proportional speedup on top
of the 30% percent because we only clflush back the part of the buffer
we're actually writing.
v2: Simplify the clflush-before-write logic, as suggested by Chris
Wilson.
v3: Finishing touches suggested by Chris Wilson:
- add comment to needs_clflush_before and only set this if the bo is
uncached.
- s/needs_clflush/needs_clflush_after/ in the write paths to clearly
differentiate it from needs_clflush_before.
