We use jiffies to determine when wait expires. However Imre did find out that jiffies can and will do a >1 increments on certain situations [1]. When this happens in a wait_for loop, we return timeout errorneously much earlier than what the real wallclock would say.
We can't afford our waits to timeout prematurely. Discard jiffies and change to ktime to detect timeouts. v2: added bugzilla entry (Imre), added stable (Chris) Reported-by: Imre Deak <[email protected]> References: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/18/798 [1] Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105771 Cc: Imre Deak <[email protected]> Cc: Chris Wilson <[email protected]> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mika Kuoppala <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <[email protected]> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h index 44ed248f1fe9..33ff2638c92b 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h @@ -49,12 +49,12 @@ * check the condition before the timeout. */ #define __wait_for(OP, COND, US, Wmin, Wmax) ({ \ - unsigned long timeout__ = jiffies + usecs_to_jiffies(US) + 1; \ + const ktime_t end__ = ktime_add_ns(ktime_get_raw(), 1000ll * (US)); \ long wait__ = (Wmin); /* recommended min for usleep is 10 us */ \ int ret__; \ might_sleep(); \ for (;;) { \ - bool expired__ = time_after(jiffies, timeout__); \ + const bool expired__ = ktime_after(ktime_get_raw(), end__); \ OP; \ if (COND) { \ ret__ = 0; \ -- 2.14.1 _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
