Hi,
I'm debugging a null-pointer dereference when running
igt@kms_connector_force_edid and the way I found to solve the bug is to
stop using raw edid handler in amdgpu_connector_funcs_force and
create_eml_sink in favor of managing resouces via sruct drm_edid helpers
(Patch 1). The proper solution seems to be switch amdgpu_dm_connector
from struct edid to struct drm_edid and avoid the usage of different
approaches in the driver (Patch 2). However, doing it implies a good
amount of work and validation, therefore I decided to send this RFC
first to collect opinions and check if there is any parallel work on
this side. It's a working in progress.
The null-pointer error trigger by the igt@kms_connector_force_edid test
was introduced by:
- e54ed41620f ("drm/amd/display: Remove unwanted drm edid references")
You can check the error trace in the first patch.
This series was tested with kms_hdmi_inject and kms_force_connector. No
null-pointer error, kms_hdmi_inject is successul and kms_force_connector
is sucessful after the second execution - the force-edid subtest
still fails in the first run (I'm still investigating).
There is also a couple of cast warnings to be addressed - I'm looking
for the best replacement.
I appreciate any feedback and testing.
So I'm actually a little bit worried by hardcoding EDID_LENGTH in this
series.
I have some other patches that I'm posting later on that let you get the
EDID from _DDC BIOS method too. My observation was that the EDID can be
anywhere up to 512 bytes according to the ACPI spec.
An earlier version of my patch was using EDID_LENGTH when fetching it
and the EDID checksum failed.
I'll CC you on the post, we probably want to get your changes and mine
merged together.
