Marek Olšák 83145f110e drm/amdgpu: don't invalidate caches in RELEASE_MEM, only do the writeback
This RELEASE_MEM use has the Release semantic, which means we should write
back but not invalidate. Invalidations only make sense with the Acquire
semantic (ACQUIRE_MEM), or when RELEASE_MEM is used to do the combined
Acquire-Release semantic, which is a barrier, not a fence.

The undesirable side effect of doing invalidations for the Release semantic
is that it invalidates caches while shaders are running, because the Release
can execute in the middle of the next IB.

UMDs should use ACQUIRE_MEM at the beginning of IBs. Doing cache
invalidations for a fence (like in this case) doesn't do anything
for correctness.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
