Maybe we do xe_device_mem_access_get/put in xe_hwmon_process_reg where it
is needed? E.g. xe_hwmon_is_visible doesn't need to do this because it
doesn't read/write registers.
Agreed, but visible function is called only once while registering hwmon
interface, which happen during driver probe. During driver probe device
will be in resumed state. So no harm in keeping
xe_device_mem_access_get/put in visible function.

To me it doesn't make any sense to keep xe_device_mem_access_get/put
anywhere except in xe_hwmon_process_reg where the HW access actually
happens. We can eliminate xe_device_mem_access_get/put's all over the place
if we do it. Isn't it?
Agreed, thought process here suggest that take rpm wakeref at lowest possible level. I already tried this in rfc series and in some extent in rev2. There is problem with this approach. See my comments below.

The only restriction I have heard of (though not sure why) is that
xe_device_mem_access_get/put should not be called under lock. Though I am
not sure it is for spinlock or also mutex. So as we were saying the locking
will also need to move to xe_hwmon_process_reg.
Yes from rev2 comments its dangerous to take mutex before xe_device_mem_access_get/put. With code for "PL1 disable/restore during resume" I saw deadlock. Scenario was power1_max write -> mutex lock -> rpm resume -> disable pl1 -> mutex lock (dead lock here).

So:

xe_hwmon_process_reg()
{
	xe_device_mem_access_get
	mutex_lock
	...
	mutex_unlock
	xe_device_mem_access_put
}

So once again if this is not possible for some reason let's figure out why.
There are two problems with this approach.

Problem 1: If you see implementation of xe_hwmon_power_max_write, reg access is happening 3 times, so there will be 3 rpm suspend/resume cycles. I was observing the same with rfc implementation. So in subsequent series xe_device_mem_access_put/get is moved to top level functions i.e. hwmon hooks.

Problem 2: If locking moved inside xe_hwmon_process_reg then between two subsequent reg accesses it will open small window during which race can happen. As Anshuman suggested in other thread for read are sequential and protected by sysfs layer. So lets apply locking only for RW attributes.


+static int xe_hwmon_power_max_write(struct xe_hwmon *hwmon, long value)
+{
+	u32 reg_val;
+
+ /* Disable PL1 limit and verify, as limit cannot be disabled on all platforms */
+	if (value == PL1_DISABLE) {
+		xe_hwmon_process_reg(hwmon, REG_PKG_RAPL_LIMIT, REG_RMW, &reg_val,
+				     PKG_PWR_LIM_1_EN, 0);
+		xe_hwmon_process_reg(hwmon, REG_PKG_RAPL_LIMIT, REG_READ, &reg_val,
+				     PKG_PWR_LIM_1_EN, 0);
+
+		if (reg_val & PKG_PWR_LIM_1_EN)
+			return -EOPNOTSUPP;
+	}
+
+	/* Computation in 64-bits to avoid overflow. Round to nearest. */
+ reg_val = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL((u64)value << hwmon->scl_shift_power, SF_POWER);
+	reg_val = PKG_PWR_LIM_1_EN | REG_FIELD_PREP(PKG_PWR_LIM_1, reg_val);
+
+	xe_hwmon_process_reg(hwmon, REG_PKG_RAPL_LIMIT, REG_RMW, &reg_val,
+			     PKG_PWR_LIM_1_EN | PKG_PWR_LIM_1, reg_val);
+
+	return 0;
+}

Also do we need to take forcewake? i915 had forcewake table so it would
take forcewake automatically but XE doesn't do that.
Hwmon regs doesn't fall under GT domain so doesn't need forcewake.

OK, great.

Thanks.
