[PATCH v2 5/7] drm/panfrost: Make reset sequence deal with an active HWPerf session
From: Adrián Larumbe
Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 13:39:40 EST
Right now, if there's a HW reset and an HWPerf session is active,
panfrost_mmu_reset() will reset the AS count for every single open file's
mmu struct back to 0, and also invalidate their AS numbers. Then, when
disabling hwperf, panfrost_mmu_as_put() will WARN that mmu->as_count is
less than zero.
Fix this by introducing a perfcnt HW reset path.
The choice was made to render perfcnt unusable after reset, so that a
user might have to reprogram it with a full disable/enable sequence
before requesting more perfcnt dumps.
