drm/radeon: Handle irqs only based on irq ring, not irq status regs.
Trying to resolve issues with missed vblanks and impossible values inside delivered kms pageflip completion events showed that radeon's irq handling sometimes doesn't handle valid irqs, but silently skips them. This was observed for vblank interrupts. Although those irqs have corresponding events queued in the gpu's irq ring at time of interrupt, and therefore the corresponding handling code gets triggered by these events, the handling code sometimes silently skipped processing the irq. The reason for those skips is that the handling code double-checks for each irq event if the corresponding irq status bits in the irq status registers are set. Sometimes those bits are not set at time of check for valid irqs, maybe due to some hardware race on some setups? The problem only seems to happen on some machine + card combos sometimes, e.g., never happened during my testing of different PC cards of the DCE-2/3/4 generation a year ago, but happens consistently now on two different Apple Mac cards (RV730, DCE-3, Apple iMac and Evergreen JUNIPER, DCE-4 in a Apple MacPro). It also doesn't happen at each interrupt but only occassionally every couple of hundred or thousand vblank interrupts. This results in XOrg warning messages like "[ 7084.472] (WW) RADEON(0): radeon_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 420120 < target_msc 420121" as well as skipped frames and problems for applications that use kms pageflip events or vblank events, e.g., users of DRI2 and DRI3/Present, Waylands Weston compositor, etc. See also https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85203 After some talking to Alex and Michel, we decided to fix this by turning the double-check for asserted irq status bits into a warning. Whenever a irq event is queued in the IH ring, always execute the corresponding interrupt handler. Still check the irq status bits, but only to log a DRM_DEBUG message on a mismatch. This fixed the problems reliably on both previously failing cards, RV-730 dual-head tested on both crtcs (pipes D1 and D2) and a triple-output Juniper HD-5770 card tested on all three available crtcs (D1/D2/D3). The r600 and evergreen irq handling is therefore tested, but the cik an si handling is only compile tested due to lack of hw. Reviewed-by:Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by:
