Bug 77876

Created attachment 97879 [details]
glxinfo for my card, R9 270X.

Everything works fine over all, but I notice a slight problem. Ever since the DMA blitting commit (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=71254732db12c8813c002425b5c1b7c31bf56f65), I get GREAT glmark2 test results. The first test is about 5000, the second always about 6000. But, these results quickly degrade. By the time the "shading" tests are being executed, or running about 4 tests total (Restarting only running 1 test each time) the performance degrades to the original score, or worse. From 2000-2500 where before normal was 2500-3000. I am singling out this commit because, as far as I know, it enabled me to get those score ranges. But I won't rule out it may be a bug elsewhere, but I'm pretty confident this bug/feature has something to do with this commit, either contained in the commit, or is affecting the commit.

I am running Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon. Linux 3.15.2RC kernel.
