The pm QoS request fixes this for me, by telling the PM subsystem that the SAA7134 cannot cope with a long latency on the first write of a DMA transfer. Now, some media bridges (like the ones driven by the cx18 driver) can cope with very high latency before the beginning of a DMA burst. Andy Walls has worked on the cx18 driver to cope in this situation, so it doesn't fail even with the 109 microsecond DMA latency we have on Sandybridge. Well if brdige wake-up DMA latency is the problem, it is alos the case that the CX23418 has a *lot* of on board memory with which to collect video and compress it. (And lets face it, the CX23418 is an SoC with two ARM cores and a lot of dedicated external memory, as opposed to the SAA7134 with 1 kB of FIFO.) That hardware helps quite a bit, if the PCI bus is slow to wake up. I found a SAA7134 sheet for you: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/SAA7134HL.pdf Section 6.4.3 has a short description of the behaviour when the FIFO overflows. That's a good description of what I'm seeing, so fits with the idea that it's FIFO underflow. But this sheet (close enough): http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/SAA7133HL.pdf Has much nicer examples of the programmed levels of the FIFO in section 6.4.3. That 1 kB is for everything: raw VBI, Y, U, V, MPEG, and Audio. So you're lucky if one full line of video fits in the FIFO. And that datasheet suggests that my 31 usec request is too high; in the fastidious configuration, I'd need a latency of 22 usec, not 31. Does anyone have register-level documentation for the SAA7134, to confirm the maximum tolerated latency with the FIFO configuration Linux uses? Others, like the SAA7134, just don't have that much buffering, and we need to ask the pm core to cope with it. I suspect that most old drivers will need updating if anyone wants to use them with modern systems; either they'll have an architecture like the cx18 series, and the type of work Andy has done will fix the problem, or they'll behave like the saa7134, and need a pm_qos request to ensure that the CPU package (and thus memory controller) stay awake. Unless the chip has a lot of internal memory and processing resources, I suspect a pm_qos solution is needed to ensure the PCI bus responds in time. This is a system level issue though. Having the drivers decide what QoS they need in the absences of total system requirements, is the right thing for the home user. It might not be very friendly for a professional solution where someone is trying to tune the use of the system IO bandwidth and CPU resources. The ivtv driver and cx18 driver unconditionally bumping up their PCI latency timer to 64 cycles minimum always bugged me: drivers shouldn't be deciding QoS in a vaccuum. But, then again, user complaints went away and the 64 PCI cycles seemed to be a minimum QoS that everyone needed. Also both drivers have a ivtv/cx18_pci_latency module option to override the behaviour anyway. So, one trick that the pm_qos request infrastructure gives us is that I only request reduced latency when we are actually streaming. It's up to the pm core to determine what that means - e.g. keep CPU awake, program chipset registers, ignore the request completely. The other part of this is that I'm flagging my QoS requirements; if the wakeup latency is higher than I'm requesting, I'll fail - that is clearly wrong. On the other hand, if you have reasons to want lower wakeup latencies, the core will combine all requests (both userspace and kernelspace), and choose the minimum. If you're sophisticated enough to accept the problems involved in not waking up in time to service DMA requests, you're probably also up to the task of changing the kernel slightly to not request lower latencies. Simon, If I understood your above comments well, you'll be submitting us a version 2 of this patch changing the latency to a value closer to 22 usec, after testing it. So, I'll mark this patch as changes-requested and I'll wait for your next one. Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this

[PATCH] saa7134: Add pm_qos_request to fix video corruption
The SAA7134 appears to have trouble buffering more than one line of video
when doing DMA. Rather than try to fix the driver to cope (as has been done
by Andy Walls for the cx18 driver), put in a pm_qos_request to limit deep
sleep exit latencies.
The visible effect of not having this is that seemingly random lines are
only partly transferred - if you feed in a static image, you see a portion
of the image flicker into place.

As per the comment, note that I've not been able to nail down the maximum
latency the SAA7134 can cope with. I know that the chip has a 1KiB FIFO
buffer, so I'm assuming that it can store half a line of video at a time, on
the basis of 720 luma, 360 Cb, 360 Cr samples, totalling 1440 bytes per
line. If this is a bad assumption (I've not been able to find register-level
documentation for the chip, so I don't know what
saa_writel(SAA7134_FIFO_SIZE, 0x08070503) does in saa7134_hw_enable1() in
saa7134-core.c), that value will need adjusting to match the real FIFO
latency.
