The read is taking a considerable amount of time (about 50us on this machine). The register does not ever hold anything other than the ring ID that is updated in this exact function, so there is no need for the read modify write cycle. This chops off a big chunk of the time spent in hardirq disabled context, as this function is called multiple times in the interrupt handler. With this change applied radeon won't show up in the list of the worst IRQ latency offenders anymore, where it was a regular before. Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <dev@xxxxxxxxxx>
Ups, and to make it even worse SRBM_GFX_CNTL is explicitly documented to be a write only register.
That it takes a considerable amount of time is probably because the SRBM runs into an error condition when you read it.
So patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx> and please also add a CC:stable on that.
Do we have other occasions where we try to use a read modify write cycle? Regards, Christian.
