      drm/i915: More surgically unbreak the modeset vs reset deadlock · 9db529aa
      Daniel Vetter authored 
      There's no reason to entirely wedge the gpu, for the minimal deadlock
bugfix we only need to unbreak/decouple the atomic commit from the gpu
reset. The simplest way to fix that is by replacing the
unconditional fence wait a the top of commit_tail by a wait which
completes either when the fences are done (normal case, or when a
reset doesn't need to touch the display state). Or when the gpu reset
needs to force-unblock all pending modeset states.

The lesser source of deadlocks is when we try to pin a new framebuffer
and run into a stall. There's a bunch of places this can happen, like
eviction, changing the caching mode, acquiring a fence on older
platforms. And we can't just break the depency loop and keep going,
the only way would be to break out and restart. But the problem with
that approach is that we must stall for the reset to complete before
we grab any locks, and with the atomic infrastructure that's a bit
tricky. The only place is the ioctl code, and we don't want to insert
code into e.g. the BUSY ioctl. Hence for that problem just create a
critical section, and if any code is in there, wedge the GPU. For the
steady-state this should never be a problem.

Note that in both cases TDR itself keeps working, so from a userspace
pov this trickery isn't observable. Users themselvs might spot a short
glitch while the rendering is catching up again, but that's still
better than pre-TDR where we've thrown away all the rendering,
including innocent batches. Also, this fixes the regression TDR
introduced of making gpu resets deadlock-prone when we do need to
touch the display.

One thing I noticed is that gpu_error.flags seems to use both our own
wait-queue in gpu_error.wait_queue, and the generic wait_on_bit
facilities. Not entirely sure why this inconsistency exists, I just
picked one style.

A possible future avenue could be to insert the gpu reset in-between
ongoing modeset changes, which would avoid the momentary glitch. But
that's a lot more work to implement in the atomic commit machinery,
and given that we only need this for pre-g4x hw, of questionable
utility just for the sake of polishing gpu reset even more on those
old boxes. It might be useful for other features though.

v2: Rebase onto 4.13 with a s/wait_queue_t/struct wait_queue_entry/.

v3: Really emabarrassing fixup, I checked the wrong bit and broke the
unbreak/wakeup logic.

v4: Also handle deadlocks in pin_to_display.

v5: Review from Michel:
- Fixup the BUILD_BUG_ON
- Don't forget about the overlay

      drm/i915: Push i915_sw_fence_wait into the nonblocking atomic commit · 42b062b0
      Daniel Vetter authored 
      Blocking in a worker is ok, that's what the unbound_wq is for. And it
unifies the paths between the blocking and nonblocking commit, giving
me just one path where I have to implement the deadlock avoidance
trickery in the next patch.

I first tried to implement the following patch without this rework, but
force-completing i915_sw_fence creates some serious challenges around
properly cleaning things up. So wasn't a feasible short-term approach.
Another approach would be to simple keep track of all pending atomic
commit work items and manually queue them from the reset code. With the
caveat that double-queue in case we race with the i915_sw_fence must be
avoided. Given all that, taking the cost of a double schedule in atomic
for the short-term fix is the best approach, but can be changed in the future of course.

v2: Amend commit message (Chris).

v3: Add comment explaining why we do nothing in the sw_fence complete
callback (Michel).
