Roy Spliet is at it again with a new set of Nouveau DRM driver patches pertaining to re-clocking.

A few weeks back Roy posted improved re-clocking code for NVA3 GPUs. Today his latest set of patches work on memory re-clocking improvements for DDR2/DDR3 hardware. The patches also implement wait-for-vblank to remove flickering during memory re-clocking, improvements for reducing the downtime of PFIFO pauses, etc. These patches are prep work for the actual memory re-clocking code that he says will follow later.


Those wishing to test out this code can find the set of patches on the Nouveau mailing list. Ideally the work will get vetted and approved for the Linux 3.18 kernel merge window.
