Intel's Xe driver pull for the upcoming Linux 7.1 merge window introduces several notable additions. Key highlights include continued enablement work for next-gen Nova Lake P hardware (Xe3P graphics), new workarounds and platform stepping information for that platform, and a new VM_BIND DECOMPRESS flag in the Linux DRM interface enabling on-device, in-place GPU memory decompression (supported on Xe2 and newer). Intel Compute Runtime already has pending code to use this feature. The pull also finalizes long-discussed RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) infrastructure over generic Netlink, providing a unified, extensible way for DRM drivers to expose hardware error counters to userspace.
