Introduce device wedged event, which notifies userspace of 'wedged'
(hanged/unusable) state of the DRM device through a uevent. This is
useful especially in cases where the device is no longer operating as
expected and has become unrecoverable from driver context. Purpose of
this implementation is to provide drivers a generic way to recover with
the help of userspace intervention without taking any drastic measures
in the driver.
A 'wedged' device is basically a dead device that needs attention. The
uevent is the notification that is sent to userspace along with a hint
about what could possibly be attempted to recover the device and bring
it back to usable state. Different drivers may have different ideas of
a 'wedged' device depending on their hardware implementation, and hence
the vendor agnostic nature of the event. It is up to the drivers to
decide when they see the need for recovery and how they want to recover
from the available methods.
Prerequisites
-------------
The driver, before opting for recovery, needs to make sure that the
'wedged' device doesn't harm the system as a whole by taking care of the
prerequisites. Necessary actions must include disabling DMA to system
memory as well as any communication channels with other devices. Further,
the driver must ensure that all dma_fences are signalled and any device
state that the core kernel might depend on are cleaned up. Once the event
is sent, the device must be kept in 'wedged' state until the recovery is
performed. New accesses to the device (IOCTLs) should be blocked,
preferably with an error code that resembles the type of failure the
device has encountered. This will signify the reason for wegeding which
can be reported to the application if needed.
Recovery
--------
Current implementation defines three recovery methods, out of which,
drivers can use any one, multiple or none. Method(s) of choice will be
sent in the uevent environment as ``WEDGED=<method1>[,<method2>]`` in
order of less to more side-effects. If driver is unsure about recovery
or method is unknown (like soft/hard reboot, firmware flashing, hardware
replacement or any other procedure which can't be attempted on the fly),
``WEDGED=unknown`` will be sent instead.
Userspace consumers can parse this event and attempt recovery as per the
following expectations.
=============== ================================
Recovery method Consumer expectations
=============== ================================
none optional telemetry collection
rebind unbind + bind driver
bus-reset unbind + reset bus device + bind
unknown admin/user policy
=============== ================================
The only exception to this is ``WEDGED=none``, which signifies that the
device was temporarily 'wedged' at some point but was able to recover
using device specific methods like reset. No explicit action is expected
from userspace consumers in this case, but they can still take additional
steps like gathering telemetry information (devcoredump, syslog). This is
useful because the first hang is usually the most critical one which can
result in consequential hangs or complete wedging.
Example
-------
Udev rule::
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ENV{WEDGED}=="rebind", DEVPATH=="*/drm/card[0-9]",
RUN+="/path/to/rebind.sh $env{DEVPATH}"
Recovery script::
#!/bin/sh
DEVPATH=$(readlink -f /sys/$1/device)
DEVICE=$(basename $DEVPATH)
DRIVER=$(readlink -f $DEVPATH/driver)
echo -n $DEVICE > $DRIVER/unbind
sleep 1
echo -n $DEVICE > $DRIVER/bind
Customization
-------------
Although basic recovery is possible with a simple script, admin/users can
define custom policies around recovery action. For example, if the driver
supports multiple recovery methods, consumers can opt for the suitable one
based on policy definition. Consumers can also choose to have the device
available for debugging or additional data collection before performing
the recovery. This is useful especially when the driver is unsure about
recovery or method is unknown.
