Thanks, v2 posted with the commit message fixes and correct tagging.
My device isn't a Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse, it's an RX 5600M and OEM
as far as I can tell. The condition in the original code was too broad
and was catching devices like mine (or the devices of the other bug
participants) where the hack was breaking things.
well that doesn't really make sense. As far as I know the problem is an
invalid PCIe config space on the whole series of the ASIC, but I can
double check with the hardware engineers once more.
What could be is that a later hardware revision doesn't have that bug
any more and we don't need to apply the workaround. That is trivial to
confirm with an verbose lspci output, but even then the workaround won't
hurt in any way.

Would be good to mention "Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse" explicitly since
that's what 907830b0fc9e said.

A particular RX 5600 device requires a hack in the rebar logic, but the
current branch is too general and catches other devices too, breaking

particular revision.

There's a lot of legwork in the bug report to bisect this, but no
explanation of what the root cause turned out to be.
Yes agree, that bisection is extremely unlikely to be correct.
See the driver allocates addresses from both ends of the BAR and works
towards the middle.
So if something doesn't work correctly we see that immediately because
the driver isn't even able to initialize the hardware.
What could be is that resizing the BAR reduces the overhead drastically.
Resulting in some use cases to have a 10-20% performance benefit. When
we have a timing bug somewhere else the patch could potentially make
that much more likely to be seen.
Going to comment on the bug report as well.
907830b0fc9e says RX 5600 XT Pulse advertises 256MB-1GB BAR 0 sizes but
actually supports up to 8GB.
Does this patch mean your RX 5600 XT Pulse supports fewer sizes and
advertises them correctly? And consequently we resize BAR 0 to
something that's too big, and something fails when we try to access
the part the isn't actually implemented by the device?
We do have devices which have a non power of two local memory, e.g. 3GiB
or 6GiB. In those cases we resize the BAR to the next power of two and
that still works.
It would be useful to attach your "lspci -vv" output to the bug
report.
This patch fixes intermittent freezes on other RX 5600 devices where the
hack is unnecessary. Credit to all contributors in the linked issue on
the AMD bug tracker.
Thanks. This would need a signed-off-by [1].
We should also include a "Fixes:" line for the commit the problem was
bisected to, 907830b0fc9e ("PCI: Add a REBAR size quirk for Sapphire
RX 5600 XT Pulse"), if I understand correctly, e.g.,
Fixes: 907830b0fc9e ("PCI: Add a REBAR size quirk for Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse")
And probably a stable tag, since 907830b0fc9e appeared in v5.12, e.g.,
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v5.12+
If stable maintainers backported 907830b0fc9e to earlier kernels, as
it appears they have, it's up to them to watch for fixes to
907830b0fc9e.
What would be very helpful as well is to CC the relevant AMD engineers
which wrote the original patch and signed it off.
Regards,
Christian.
