Subject: [PATCH] amdgcn: remove unnecessary scalar cache flush
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 12:54:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6d9dea6e-5595-477e-b049-6992623f13fc@codesourcery.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 209 bytes --]

Hi,

This patch is necessary to support AMD RDNA2 GPUs that don't have a 
writable scalar cache.  However, the write back isn't actually doing 
anything useful on any GPU any more, so we can remove it.

amdgcn: remove unnecessary scalar cache flush

The exit code isn't actually written via the scalar cache so the cache flush
is not actually needed.
