Most accelerated graphics drivers rely heavily on the ability to map the VRAM normal-non-cacheable (ioremap_wc, basically), and treat it as ordinary memory.Yeah, I'd expect framebuffers to be mapped as normal NC. That should be fine for prefetchable BARs, no? WillSo - why does it corrupt data then? I've created this program that reproduces the data corruption quicky. If I run it on /dev/fb0, I get an instant failure. Sometimes a few bytes are not written, sometimes a few bytes are written with a value that should be 16 bytes apart. I tried to run it on system RAM mapped with the NC attribute and I didn't get any corruption - that suggests the the bug may be in the PCIE subsystem.
Note that normal-NC gives you write combining whereas device nGnRE doesn't have any write-combining support. normal-NC is typically mapped to prefetchable BAR space where write-combining is welcome. It could be an issue on the SOC itself too. I suggest you contact your board vendor.
