After enabled the WOPCM write-once registers locking status checking,
reloading of the i915 module will fail with modparam enable_guc set to 3 (enable GuC and HuC firmware loading) if the module was originally loaded
with enable_guc set to 1 (only enable GuC firmware loading).

Is this frequent and required scenario ? or just for debug/development ?

My understanding is this should be a nice to have feature and mainly for debugging.
This is
because WOPCM registers were updated and locked without considering the HuC
FW size. Since we need both GuC and HuC FW sizes to determine the final
layout of WOPCM, we should always calculate the WOPCM layout based on the actual sizes of the GuC and HuC firmware available for a specific platform if we need continue to support enable/disable HuC FW loading dynamically
with enable_guc modparam.

This patch splits uC firmware fetching into two stages. First stage is to fetch the firmware image and verify the firmware header. uC firmware will be marked as verified and this will make FW info available for following WOPCM layout calculation. The second stage is to create a GEM object and copy the FW data into the created GEM object which will only be available when GuC/HuC loading is enabled by enable_guc modparam. This will guarantee that the WOPCM layout will be always be calculated correctly without making
any assumptions to the GuC and HuC firmware sizes.

You are also assuming that on reload exactly the same GuC/HuC firmwares
will bee used as in initial run. This will make this useless for debug/
development scenarios, where custom fw are likely to be specified.

This patch is mainly for providing a real fix to support enable_guc=1->3->1 use case. It based on the fact that it is inevitable that sometimes we need to reboot the system
if the status of the fw was changed on the file system.

What do you mean by "status of the fw was changed on the file system" ?
* change of the fw binary/version/size, or
* change from not-present to present ?

I am not sure how often we switch between different HuC FW with different sizes?

Just above you said that you need this "mainly for debugging" so
I would expect that then different fw sizes are expected.

If we want to support enable_guc=1->3->1 scenarios for debug/dev then
maybe more flexible will be other approach that makes allocations from
the other end as proposed in [1]

[1] https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/212471/
Actually, I do think this might be one of the options, and I've also put some comments on this series. The main concern I have is it still make assumption on the GuC FW size and may

But in enable_guc=1-->3 scenario, I would assume that the only difference
will be HuC fw (as with enable=1 we already loaded GuC)

If you want just to test different GuC fws, then it is different scenario
as then enable_guc will always be = 1.

run into the same issue if the GuC FW failed to meet the requirement.
and for debugging purpose it would have the same possible for different GuC FW debugging.

Hmm, side effect of those unconditional fetches might be unwanted warnings about missing firmwares (on configs with disabled guc) as well as extended
driver load time.
Hmm, if HAS_GUC is false then fw path would be NULL. The fetch will return directly.

I was referring to scenario when on platform with HAS_HUC and with
enable_guc=1 (just submission, no HuC) we will try to fetch HuC fw
(that may not be present at all) and then drop it as don't need it.


Do we really need to support this corner case enable_guc=1->3 at all costs?
I think this is the real solution for this issue (with no assumption). However, we do need to decide whether we should support such a corner case which is mainly for
debugging.

I'm repeating here Joonas' earlier statement:

"Then just require a reboot if after that partitioning,
 changing the parameter causes the FW not to fit"
