Make sure the P-Unit or the PMIC i2c bus is not in use when we send a
request to the P-Unit by calling iosf_mbi_punit_acquire() / _release()

Can't we just stuff the calls into the actual punit write function
rather than sprinkling them all over the place?
punit access is acquired across sections like this:
iosf_mbi_punit_acquire();
val = vlv_punit_read(dev_priv, PUNIT_REG_DSPFREQ);
val &= ~DSPFREQGUAR_MASK;
val |= (cmd << DSPFREQGUAR_SHIFT);
vlv_punit_write(dev_priv, PUNIT_REG_DSPFREQ, val);
if (wait_for((vlv_punit_read(dev_priv, PUNIT_REG_DSPFREQ) &
DSPFREQSTAT_MASK) == (cmd << DSPFREQSTAT_SHIFT),
50)) {
DRM_ERROR("timed out waiting for CDclk change\n");
}
iosf_mbi_punit_release();
Where we want to wait for the requested change to have taken
effect before releasing the punit.
Hmm. That's somewhat unfortunate. It also highlights a problem with the
patch wrt. RPS. We don't wait for the GPU to actually change frequencies
in set_rps() because that would slow things down too much. So I have to
wonder how much luck is needed to make this workaround really effective.
So the history of this patch-set is that I wrote this patch before
writing the patch to get FORCEWAKE_ALL before the pmic bus becomes
active (patch 12/13). Since a lot of testing was done with this
patch included in the patch-set and since it seemed a good idea
regardless (given my experience with accessing the punit vs
pmic bus accesses) I decided to leave it in.
Possibly just the patch to get FORCEWAKE_ALL is enough, that one
actually fixed things for me. That is also why I made this the
last patch in the set. I asked tagorereddy to test his system
without this patch, but he did not get around to that.
After all we do tell the punit to not touch the bus by acquiring
the pmic bus semaphore from i2c-desigware-baytrail.c, so maybe
for RPS freq changes it honors that and properly waits. Maybe it
honors that for all punit requests i915 does and the only real
problem is the forcewake stuff ?
I can try to drop this patch from my queue and run without it
for a while and see if things don't regress. And also ask
tagorereddy again to test his system that way.
Does that (dropping this patch for now) sound like a good idea?
More test results couldn't hurt at least. It also makes me wonder if
just bumping the timeouts to some ridiculously high value would fix
the problem as well.
I've already tried bumping the forcewake timeout from 50 to 250ms,
before writing the patch to just get forcewake_all before the pmic
bus access begins, that does not fix things,
And you bumped the i2c mutex timeout as well? Or does that fail somehow
gracefully if it can't get the mutex?
It will fail the i2c transfer with -ETIMEOUT, which will make the driver
report an error instead of e.g. the battery level, but it should not
affect the forcewake calls and those still failed with the large
timeout. So yes basically the i2c mutex fails gracefully.
and since we busy wait
for this timeout from non-sleeping context 250ms already is way too
high.
Sure, but I'm just trying to understand if the problem is simply caused
by proceeding with some hardware access without getting the i2c mutex.
Understood.
+ a comment would be nice why it's there.
I will add comments to the acquire calls.
Do we need a kconfig select/depends on the iosf_mbi thing? Or some
ifdefs?
No, the iosf_mbi header defines empty inline versions of
iosf_mbi_punit_acquire / _release if IOSF_MBI is disabled,
this does mean that iosf_mbi must be builtin if the i915
driver is. I'll add:
depends on DRM_I915=IOSF_MBI || IOSF_MBI=y
To the i915 Kconfig to enforce this.
Hmm, ok so that does not work (long cyclic dependency through the
selection of ACPI_VIDEO).
So I've now added this instead:
# iosf_mbi needs to be builtin if we are builtin
select IOSF_MBI if DRM_I915=y
That's probably not going to help anyone since i915 is usually a module.
Right, that is fine, then either the IOSF_MBI symbols are available,
or IOSF_MBI is disabled and we get the inline nops from the header.
The problem scenario is DRM_I915=y and IOSF_MBI=m, which is not very
realistic IMHO, but will get triggered by the random-config testing
several contributors do and lead to an unresolved symbol error there.
Well, from the user POV anything with IOSF_MBI==n can be a problem.
So I'm not sure if we should allow that.
So you're suggesting we just add an unconditional "select IOSF_MBI"
to the i915 Kconfig entry?
Yeah, that should at least cut down the number of people accidentally
misconfiguring their kernels and hitting this problem in the future.
Ok.

Hans
