Encountering forcewake errors related to render power gating;

Can you please expand your explanation here?

yeap. More explanation please. All platforms? really?

We are seeing Render forcewake timeouts on ADLP, ADLM, ADLN, TWL, DG1, rpl.

Is this a regression? or a new issue?

This is old issue, first reported year back.


Is this happening with Xe on these platforms? or i915 only?

i915 only. This is not reported on Xe kmd.


Issue disappears after disabling RPG. Instead of fully disabling RPG I am
disabling it during active submissions i.e. during unpark.
For MTL and ARL RPG is already disabled permanently.

uhm. Interesting. Why that is disabled on these platforms?

From commit log its temporary wa to avoid fw timeouts.

perhaps we should be
doing the same for all GuC enabled platforms?

I think so as temporary Wa.



Impact of doing this change should be performance improvement so kept for
all platform otherwise I will add platform check.

it could cause power consumption and battery life regressions. Better to filter
per platform.

Sure, will filter per platform.



This is the issue https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/9413. Will
add it in commit message.

Next time please include the relevant links in the commit msg.

Sure.


Thanks a lot for the info and for working on this,

Thanks,
Badal

Rodrigo.

Badal



therefore, disable it during workload execution.

... and here.

is this supposed to be "pg_enable == GEN9_RENDER_PG_ENABLE" or
