Yeah, I'm referring to the "Lost access to MMIO BAR" errors; in the past most of them have ultimately been tracked down to bugs in early firmware, so flashing an updated IFWI/BIOS onto the device usually solved the problems. Generally those buggy firmwares are an internal problem that never make it into the wild, but I think we have also seen cases where they get triggered by physical/electrical problems on a specific part; that can potentially happen to anyone who's unlucky enough to get a defective/damaged unit. Basically "hardware returns all F's" happens because the CPU initiates an MMIO transaction with the hardware, the hardware fails to produce any response (possibly due to failing hardware, possibly due to firmware/BIOS bugs), so 0xFFFFFFFF gets returned as an autocompletion to prevent the CPU core from hanging. It looks like we still have a few open here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/search?search=%22Lost+access+to+MMIO+BAR%22&group_id=2642&project_id=4519&scope=issues&search_code=false&snippets=false&repository_ref=&nav_source=navbar and there are some features on specific platforms we haven't turned on yet because they also trigger these failures (which is still under debug). We don't/can't really do much to handle these problems in i915 today except printing the 'lost access' error so that we know to ignore whatever kinds of bogus errors we get after that point (usually lots of messages about forcewake failing to clear, engine/GuC reset failing to complete, etc.). But aside from i915 being broken, the rest of the platform should generally continue to work, so you can still access the machine over the network, save logs to disk, etc. Matt > > > > > While the unexpected bits in the master tile register are strange and > > > > may point to a bigger problem somewhere else, they're also harmless on > > > > their own since we should just ignore those bits and only process the > > > > valid tiles. > > > > > > Yes, I was expecting that a patch belonging to multi-tile enablement would > > > be incoming soon, which would be changing: > > > > > > + if (REG_FIELD_GET(DG1_MSTR_TILE_MASK, master_tile_ctl) != > > > + DG1_MSTR_TILE(0)) { > > > + drm_warn(&i915->drm, "Unexpected irq from tile %u!\n", > > > + ilog2(REG_FIELD_GET(DG1_MSTR_TILE_MASK, > > > + master_tile_ctl))); > > > + goto enable_none; > > > } > > > > > > From this patch, into something completely different like walking bit by > > > bit, handling the present tiles, and warning on unexpected ones.
