Hook up drm_crtc_set_vblank_offdelay() in amdgpu_dm, so that we can
enable PSR more quickly for displays that support it.

Yeah, _especially_ when you have a this short timeout your really have to
instead fix the vblank driver code properly so you can enable
vblank_disable_immediate. This is just cheating :-)

Michel mentioned on irc that DC had immediate vblank disabling, but this
was reverted with f64e6e0b6afe ("Revert "drm/amdgpu/display: set
vblank_disable_immediate for DC"").

I haven't looked at the details of the bug report, but stuttering is
exactly what happens when the driver's vblank code has these races. Going
for a very low timeout instead of zero just means it's a bit harder to hit
the issue, and much, much harder to debug properly.

So yeah even more reasons to look at the underlying root-cause here I
think.

The issue is that DMUB (display firmware) isn't able to keep up with all of
the requests that the driver is making. The issue is fairly difficult to
reproduce (I've only seen it once after letting the system run with a
program that would engage PSR every so often, after several hours).
It is also worth noting that we have the same 2 idle frame wait on the
windows
driver, for the same reasons. So, in all likelihood if it is your opinion
that
the series should be NAKed, we will probably have to move the wait into the
driver as a workaround.

Well that's an entirely different reason, and needs to be recorded in the
commit log that disabling/enabling vblank is too expensive and why. Also
would be good to record that windows does the same.

Point taken.


I'm also not entirely sure this is a good interface, so some
thoughts/question:

- is the issue only with psr, meaning that if we switch the panel to a
   different crtc, do we need to update the off delay.

I can't say definitively, but all of the public reports (that I've seen)
and my local repro are PSR related.


- there's still the question of why vblank_immediate_disable resulted in
   stuttering, is that the same bug? I think for consistency it'd be best
   if we enable immediate vblank disabling everywhere (for maximum
   testing), and then apply the 2 frame delay workaround only where needed
   explicitly. Otherwise if there's other issues than DMUB being slow, they
   might be mostly hidden and become really hard to track down when they
   show up.

Ya, I believe they are all DMUB related since the stuttering issues are
accompanied by the following dmesg log entry:

[drm:dc_dmub_srv_wait_idle [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Error waiting for DMUB idle: status=3

(which is pretty much an unspecified firmware timeout)

Also, setting vblank_immediate_disable unconditionally for amdgpu, while only enabling the delay for cases that we know that we need it seems reasonable to me.


- I think an interface to set the right values in lockstep with the vblank
   on/off state would be best, so maybe a special drm_crtc_vblank_on_config
   that takes additional parameters?

Sure, that seems fine, what parameters besides the off delay did you have
in mind though?


Cheers, Sima
