In the file smu7_powertune.c we have int smu7_enable_didt_config(struct pp_hwmgr *hwmgr) { int result; uint32_t num_se = 0; uint32_t count, value, value2; struct cgs_system_info sys_info = {0}; sys_info.size = sizeof(struct cgs_system_info); sys_info.info_id = CGS_SYSTEM_INFO_GFX_SE_INFO; result = cgs_query_system_info(hwmgr->device, &sys_info); if (result == 0) num_se = sys_info.value; if (PP_CAP(PHM_PlatformCaps_SQRamping) || PP_CAP(PHM_PlatformCaps_DBRamping) || PP_CAP(PHM_PlatformCaps_TDRamping) || PP_CAP(PHM_PlatformCaps_TCPRamping)) { cgs_enter_safe_mode(hwmgr->device, true); value = 0; value2 = cgs_read_register(hwmgr->device, mmGRBM_GFX_INDEX); for (count = 0; count < num_se; count++) { value = SYS_GRBM_GFX_INDEX_DATA__INSTANCE_BROADCAST_WRITES_MASK | SYS_GRBM_GFX_INDEX_DATA__SH_BROADCAST_WRITES_MASK | (count << SYS_GRBM_GFX_INDEX_DATA__SE_INDEX__SHIFT); cgs_write_register(hwmgr->device, mmGRBM_GFX_INDEX, value); The call to "enter safe mode" doesn't hold the lock which means that this could in theory occur while other things are going on. Granted this function is likely called during init it should have a lock no? Cheers, Tom
