Change History
--------------

v3: changes suggested by Christian
- Add a check for UVD IP block using AMDGPU_HW_IP_UVD
   query type.
- Add a check for asic_type to be less than
   CHIP_POLARIS10 since starting Polaris, we support
   unlimited UVD instances.
- Add kerneldoc style comment for
   amdgpu_uvd_used_handles().

v2: as suggested by Christian
- Add a new query AMDGPU_INFO_NUM_HANDLES
- Create a helper function to return the number
   of currently used UVD handles.
- Modify the logic to count the number of used
   UVD handles since handles can be freed in
   non-linear fashion.

v1:
- User might want to query the maximum number of UVD
   instances supported by firmware. In addition to that,
   if there are multiple applications using UVD handles
   at the same time, he might also want to query the
   currently used number of handles.

   For this we add two variables max_handles and
   used_handles inside drm_amdgpu_info_hw_ip. So now
   an application (or libdrm) can use AMDGPU_INFO IOCTL
   with AMDGPU_INFO_HW_IP_INFO query type to get these
   values.

Using EINVAL doesn't seem right here. As per man 3 ioctl

      EINVAL The request or arg argument is not valid for this device.

A bit further down you can see the one you want.

      ENODEV The fildes argument refers to a valid STREAMS device, but
the corresponding device driver does not support the ioctl() function.
Emil, ENODEV would mean the driver does not support ioctl() itself. But in
our case ioctl() is supported.
Since we extract the query type from arg passed to ioctl(), and it is this
query AMDGPU_INFO_NUM_HANDLES which is not supported by driver
(for
Polaris), doesn’t returning EINVAL make more sense here?

Unless I'm reading the code incorrectly - CHIP_POLARIS10 and older do
not have support the query. Thus ENODEV is the one you want to use.
Furthermore EINVAL is (mostly) used to indicate incorrect input
(failed input validation) which userspace uses to check if kernel is
too old/does not support X.
Actually, the code says only asics older than CHIP_POLARIS10 support the
query, beyond it doesn’t.

Wouldn't it be cleaner to return INT_MAX or something like that?
Right now the interface is inconsistent, it's failing the same way as
if userspace passed something invalid, while (IMHO) it should just say
"unlimited".
We need to return an error no. consistent with what ioctl() expects to return. This will enable userspace to take corrective action (or no action at all) depending on the error code.

Well, we could return INT_MAX for the maximum numbers of handles to note that there is not limit, but I also prefer returning an error code to note that this won't work as expected.

Regarding which error code to return I think that Emil has the right idea here.

Returning -EINVAL usually means that userspace provided an invalid value, but in this case it doesn't matter which value the UMD provide all of them would be invalid because starting with Polaris the hardware/firmware simply doesn't work this way any more.

So using -ENODEV or maybe -ENODATA indeed sound like the right think to do here.

Regards,
Christian.
