[PATCH v8 00/20] Gen8+ engine-reset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These patches add the reset-engine feature from Gen8. This is also
referred to as Timeout detection and recovery (TDR). This complements to
the full gpu reset feature available in i915 but it only allows to reset a
particular engine instead of all engines thus providing a light weight
engine reset and recovery mechanism.

Thanks to recent changes merged, this implementation is now not only for
execlists, but for GuC based submission too; it is still limited from
Gen8 onwards. I have also included the changes for watchdog timeout
detection. The GuC related patches are functional, but can be seen as RFC.

Timeout detection relies on the existing hangcheck, which remains the same;
main changes are to the recovery mechanism. Once we detect a hang on a
particular engine we identify the request that caused the hang, skip the
request and adjust head pointers to allow the execution to proceed
normally. After some cleanup, submissions are restarted to process
remaining work queued to that engine.

If engine reset fails to recover engine correctly then we fallback to full
gpu reset.

We can argue about the effectiveness of reset-engine vs full reset when
more than one ring is hung, but the benefits of just resetting one engine
are reduced when the driver has to do it multiple times.

v2: ELSP queue request tracking and reset path changes to handle incomplete
requests during reset. Thanks to Chris Wilson for providing these patches.

v3: Let the waiter keep handling the full gpu reset if it already has the
lock; point out that GuC submission needs a different method to restart
workloads after the engine reset completes.

v4: Handle reset as 2 level resets, by first going to engine only and fall
backing to full/chip reset as needed, i.e. reset_engine will need the
struct_mutex.

v5: Rebased after reset flag split in 2, add GuC support, include watchdog
detection patches, addressing comments from prev RFC.

v6: Mutex-less reset engine. Updates in watchdog abi and guc whitelist &
register-restore fixes (including an old patch from Daniele).

v7: Removed leftovers from v5; review comments; ability to cancel the reset
if there's no active request.

v8: Moved patch looking for active request at the beginning of these series;
drop patch to request the engine's reset readinnes earlier since this is
done during the reset flow too; warn if hw fails to acknowledge reset
_readiness_.
