drm/dp_mst: Start tracking per-port VCPI allocations
There has been a TODO waiting for quite a long time in
drm_dp_mst_topology.c:
/* We cannot rely on port->vcpi.num_slots to update
* topology_state->avail_slots as the port may not exist if the parent
* branch device was unplugged. This should be fixed by tracking
* per-port slot allocation in drm_dp_mst_topology_state instead of
* depending on the caller to tell us how many slots to release.
*/
That's not the only reason we should fix this: forcing the driver to
track the VCPI allocations throughout a state's atomic check is
error prone, because it means that extra care has to be taken with the
order that drm_dp_atomic_find_vcpi_slots() and
drm_dp_atomic_release_vcpi_slots() are called in in order to ensure
idempotency. Currently the only driver actually using these helpers,
i915, doesn't even do this correctly: multiple ->best_encoder() checks
with i915's current implementation would not be idempotent and would
over-allocate VCPI slots, something I learned trying to implement
fallback retraining in MST.
So: simplify this whole mess, and teach drm_dp_atomic_find_vcpi_slots()
and drm_dp_atomic_release_vcpi_slots() to track the VCPI allocations for
each port. This allows us to ensure idempotency without having to rely
on the driver as much. Additionally: the driver doesn't need to do any
kind of VCPI slot tracking anymore if it doesn't need it for it's own
internal state.
Additionally; this adds a new drm_dp_mst_atomic_check() helper which
must be used by atomic drivers to perform validity checks for the new
VCPI allocations incurred by a state.
Also: update the documentation and make it more obvious that these
/must/ be called by /all/ atomic drivers supporting MST.
Changes since v9:
* Add some missing changes that were requested by danvet that I forgot
about after I redid all of the kref stuff:
* Remove unnecessary state changes in intel_dp_mst_atomic_check
* Cleanup atomic check logic for VCPI allocations - all we need to check in
compute_config is whether or not this state disables a CRTC, then free
VCPI based off that
Changes since v8:
* Fix compile errors, whoops!
Changes since v7:
- Don't check for mixed stale/valid VCPI allocations, just rely on
connector registration to stop such erroneous modesets
Changes since v6:
- Keep a kref to all of the ports we have allocations on. This required
a good bit of changing to when we call drm_dp_find_vcpi_slots(),
mainly that we need to ensure that we only redo VCPI allocations on
actual mode or CRTC changes, not crtc_state->active changes.
Additionally, we no longer take the registration of the DRM connector
for each port into account because so long as we have a kref to the
port in the new or previous atomic state, the connector will stay
registered.
- Use the small changes to drm_dp_put_port() to add even more error
checking to make misusage of the helpers more obvious. I added this
after having to chase down various use-after-free conditions that
started popping up from the new helpers so no one else has to
troubleshoot that.
- Move some accidental DRM_DEBUG_KMS() calls to DRM_DEBUG_ATOMIC()
- Update documentation again, note that find/release() should both not be
called on the same port in a single atomic check phase (but multiple
calls to one or the other is OK)
Changes since v4:
- Don't skip the atomic checks for VCPI allocations if no new VCPI
allocations happen in a state. This makes the next change I'm about
to list here a lot easier to implement.
- Don't ignore VCPI allocations on destroyed ports, instead ensure that
when ports are destroyed and still have VCPI allocations in the
topology state, the only state changes allowed are releasing said
ports' VCPI. This prevents a state with a mix of VCPI allocations
from destroyed ports, and allocations from valid ports.
Changes since v3:
- Don't release VCPI allocations in the topology state immediately in
drm_dp_atomic_release_vcpi_slots(), instead mark them as 0 and skip
over them in drm_dp_mst_duplicate_state(). This makes it so
drm_dp_atomic_release_vcpi_slots() is still idempotent while also
throwing warnings if the driver messes up it's book keeping and tries
to release VCPI slots on a port that doesn't have any pre-existing
VCPI allocation - danvet
- Change mst_state/state in some debugging messages to "mst state"
Changes since v2:
- Use kmemdup() for duplicating MST state - danvet
- Move port validation out of duplicate state callback - danvet
- Handle looping through MST topology states in
drm_dp_mst_atomic_check() so the driver doesn't have to do it
- Fix documentation in drm_dp_atomic_find_vcpi_slots()
- Move the atomic check for each individual topology state into it's
own function, reduces indenting
- Don't consider "stale" MST ports when calculating the bandwidth
requirements. This is needed because originally we relied on the
state duplication functions to prune any stale ports from the new
state, which would prevent us from incorrectly considering their
bandwidth requirements alongside legitimate new payloads.
- Add function references in drm_dp_atomic_release_vcpi_slots() - danvet
- Annotate atomic VCPI and atomic check functions with __must_check
- danvet
Changes since v1:
- Don't use the now-removed ->atomic_check() for private objects hook,
just give drivers a function to call themselves
