On DG2, HuC loading is performed by the GSC, via a PXP command. The load
operation itself is relatively simple (just send a message to the GSC
with the physical address of the HuC in LMEM), but there are timing
changes that requires special attention. In particular, to send a PXP
command we need to first export the GSC driver and then wait for the
mei-gsc and mei-pxp modules to start, which means that HuC load will
complete after i915 load is complete. This means that there is a small
window of time after i915 is registered and before HuC is loaded
during which userspace could submit and/or checking the HuC load status,
although this is quite unlikely to happen (HuC is usually loaded before
kernel init/resume completes).
We've consulted with the media team in regards to how to handle this and
they've asked us to do the following:

1) Report HuC as loaded in the getparam IOCTL even if load is still in
progress. The media driver uses the IOCTL as a way to check if HuC is
enabled and then includes a secondary check in the batches to get the
actual status, so doing it this way allows userspace to keep working
without changes.

2) Stall all userspace VCS submission until HuC is loaded. Stalls are
expected to be very rare (if any), due to the fact that HuC is usually
loaded before kernel init/resume is completed.

Motivation to add these complications into i915 are not clear to me here. I mean there is no HuC on DG2 _yet_ is the premise of the series, right? So no backwards compatibility concerns. In this case why jump through the hoops and not let userspace handle all of this by just leaving the getparam return the true status?

The main areas impacted by the fact that we can't guarantee that HuC load is complete when i915 starts accepting submissions are boot and suspend/resume, with the latter being the main problem; GT reset is not a concern because HuC now survives it. A suspend/resume can be transparent to userspace and therefore the HuC status can temporarily flip from loaded to not without userspace knowledge, especially if we start going into deeper suspend states and start causing HuC resets when we go into runtime suspend. Note that this is different from what happens during GT reset for older platforms, because in that scenario we guarantee that HuC reload is complete before we restart the submission back-end, so userspace doesn't notice that the HuC status change. We had an internal discussion about this problem with both media and i915 archs and the conclusion was that the best option is for i915 to stall media submission while HuC (re-)load is in progress.

Implementation-wise, this turned out a bit more complicated than expected due to the required tracking of the mei-gsc status to enforce the timeouts. When I discussed this with the mei team they suggested using the notifier for that, which is what I went with. Another option I considered was to start a timer when the first media submission comes in while HuC load is in progress and stall for the maximum expected HuC load time; this would be more error prone, hence why I preferred the notifier option, but would be simpler. I'm open to other options here if you have any better ideas.

Thanks,
Daniele

Timeouts are in place to ensure all submissions are unlocked in case
something goes wrong. Since we need to monitor the status of the mei
driver to know what's happening and when to time out, a notifier has
been added so we get a callback when the status of the mei driver
changes.

Note that this series depends on the GSC support for DG2 [1], which has
been included squashed in a single patch.
