Make that "just before the start of vblank". Otherwise I'm sure I'll
forget the details and start to think again about using ISR tricks.

break is enough

A bit nasty this loop with irqs off, but it's the only way we can avoid
corrupted vblank timestamps from happening when the hardware is on the
fritz.

With the comment updatead and goto killed:

 Avoid the problem by making sure we don't return scanline_offset from
 the get_crtc_scanline function.  In moving the code there, I add to add
 an additional delay since it could be called and have a legitimate 0
 result for some time (depending on the pixel clock).

Ok so just for the record, I've tried a few things:
  - using the ISR to check the vblank and vsync status when this occurs (both 
are clear)
  - using the transcoder debug reg for reading the scanline (also returns 0)

so I think we're stuck with one of the two approaches already posted.  As for 
affecting the vblank timestamps, I think you're right that this bug shouldn't 
affect that.  The issue (a 0 return from the PIPEDSL read) seems to manifest 
just as the frame counter should be getting incremented.  By the time we 
actually raise an interrupt or move to the next scanline, the correct value is 
returned.  So even if we stuff the workaround into the pipe update start 
function (which should be more tolerant of delays in general) I think we'll be 
safe.

What do you prefer?  Do you want any changes on top of either of the previous 
patches given the above?

Thanks,
Jesse

I mentioned this on irc, but I'll repeat here so we have it on record
somewhere; There's another scanline register on hsw+ in the transcoder.
We should definitely check if that suffers from the same fault.

Seems rather unlikely. That would mean something blocked us for the entire

There's still a race
1. we read bogus vblank counter
2. vblank processing completes in hw
3. ISR indicates where out of vblank.

So you'd need at least a loop to make sure you're 0 vblank counter is
stable across the ISR read.

On top of that there's patches floating from Chris to get a vblank
timestamp without grabbing the interrupts temporarily or any spinlock.
That helps when we immediately disable the interrupt and then a bit later
the compositors asks for the current vblank to estimate the next frame.

So if possible I'd definitely vote to share this "fix up bonghits vblank"
logic if possible ...

Not too much I think. We're under spinlock_irqsave here, and if the
scanline should magically start to tick just after we've read it we
would still give almost the right answer, even if we got magically
delayed by one or two scanlines. That's assuming that it has already
latched the double buffered registers when it goes wonky. If the
register latching happens only when the counter starts working again,
well then we're in deeper doodoo. But then I wouldn't expect ISR to
indicate that we're in vblank then either. So I think you should
definitely check what the ISR actually tells you while things are
in the bad state.

In case the badness happens just before start of vblank, well, then
I have no good idea how to handle it. This sort of retry loop is
the best that comes to mind right now :(

The first one can't help vblank timestamps. Although I suppose that if
the badness always cures itself before the interrupt gets raised, we
would not hit this normally when we update the timestamp from the irq
handler. We could hit it when updating the timestamp outside the irq
handler though (ie. during vblank_get/put etc.).

Sounds a bit racy, though I guess it wouldn't hurt.  I'm actually a
little dubious about this change anyway since it will mean longer delays
when we really are at the top of the field/frame.  You sure you don't
like the first one better?

Hmm. Another idea. If it always happens at start of vbl, maybe have a
look at the ISR. If scanline reads 0, but ISR says we're in vblank, just
return vblank_start. That's assming ISR would in fact show that it's in
vblank when this happens.

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: workaround bad DSL readout v2

2015-09-10 Thread Jesse Barnes
On HSW at least (still testing other platforms, but should be harmless
elsewhere), the DSL reg reads back as 0 when read around vblank start
time.  This ends up confusing the atomic start/end checking code, since
it causes the update to appear as if it crossed a frame count boundary.
Avoid the problem by making sure we don't return scanline_offset from
the get_crtc_scanline function.  In moving the code there, I add to add
an additional delay since it could be called and have a legitimate 0
result for some time (depending on the pixel clock).
