i965/gen6/blorp: Set need_workaround_flush at top of blorp
Unconditionally set brw->need_workaround_flush at the top of gen6 blorp
state emission.
The art of emitting workaround flushes on Sandybridge is mysterious and
not fully understood. Ken and I believe that
intel_emit_post_sync_nonzero_flush() may be required when switching from
regular drawing to blorp. This is an extra safety measure to prevent
undiscovered difficult-to-diagnose gpu hangs.
I verified that on ChromeOS, pre-patch, need_workaround_flush was not
set at the top of blorp, as Paul expected. To verify, I inserted the
following debug code at the top of gen6_blorp_exec(), restarted the ui,
and inspected the logs in /var/log/ui. The abort gets triggered so early
that the browser never appears on the display.
static void
gen6_blorp_exec(...)
{
if (!brw->need_workaround_flush) {
fprintf(stderr, "chadv: %s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
abort();
}
...
}
