DRM commit_tails() will disable downstream crtc/encoder/bridge if

There is a rare case that user space display manager issue an extra
screen update immediately followed by close DRM device while down
stream display interface is disabled. This extra screen update will
timeout due to the downstream interface is disabled but will cause
crtc->active be set. Hence the followed commit_tails() called by
drm_release() will pass the disable downstream crtc/encoder/bridge
conditions checking even downstream interface is disabled.
This cause the crash to happen at dp_bridge_disable() due to it trying
to access the main link register to push the idle pattern out while main
link clocks is disabled.

This patch adds atomic_check to prevent the extra frame will not
be pushed down if display interface is down so that crtc->active
will not be set neither. This will fail the conditions checking
of disabling down stream crtc/encoder/bridge which prevent
drm_release() from calling dp_bridge_disable() so that crash
at dp_bridge_disable() prevented.

I must admit I had troubles parsing this description. However if I got you right, I think the check that the main link clock is running in the dp_bridge_disable() or dp_ctrl_push_idle() would be a better fix.

Originally, thats what was posted https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/496984/.

This patch is also not so correct from my POV. It checks for the hpd status, while in reality it should check for main link clocks being enabled.


We can push another fix to check for the clk state instead of the hpd status. But I must say we are again just masking something which the fwk should have avoided isnt it?

As per the doc in the include/drm/drm_bridge.h it says,

"*
  * The bridge can assume that the display pipe (i.e. clocks and timing
  * signals) feeding it is still running when this callback is called.
  *"

Yes, that's what I meant about this chunk begging to go to the core. In my opinion, if we are talking about the disconnected sinks, it is the framework who should disallow submitting the frames to the disconnected sinks.


By adding an extra layers of protection in the driver, we are just avoiding another issue but the commit should not have been issued in the first place.

So shouldnt we do both then? That is add protection to check if clock is ON and also, reject commits when display is disconnected.


Then it seemed like we were just protecting against an issue in the framework which was allowing the frames to be pushed even after the display was disconnected. The DP driver did send out the disconnect event correctly and as per the logs, this frame came down after that and the DRM fwk did allow it.

So after discussing on IRC with Rob, we came up with this approach that
if the display is not connected, then atomic_check should fail. That way the commit will not happen.

Just seemed a bit cleaner instead of adding all our protections.

The check to fail atomic_check if display is not connected seems out of place. In its current way it begs go to the upper layer, forbidding using disconnected sinks for all the drivers. There is nothing special in the MSM DP driver with respect to the HPD events processing and failing atomic_check() based on that.


Why all the drivers? This is only for MSM DP bridge.

Yes, we change the MSM DRM driver. But the check is generic enough. I'm not actually insisting on pushing the check to the core, just trying to understand the real cause here.



I actually wanted to push this to the core and thats what I had originally asked on IRC because it does seem to be generic enough that it should belong to the core but after discussion with Rob on freedreno, he felt this was a better approach because for some of the legacy connectors like VGA, this need not belong to the DRM core, hence we went with this approach.

You know, after re-reading the trace, I could not help but notice that the issue seems to be related to completion/timer/spinlock memory becoming unavailable rather than disabling the main link clock.
See, the SError comes in the spin_lock path, not during register read.

Thus I think the commit message is a bit misleading.


No, this issue is due to unclocked access. Please check this part of the stack:

Can we please get a trace checking which calls were actually made for the dp bridge and if the dp/dp->ctrl memory pointers are correct?

I do not see the dp_display_disable() being called. Maybe I just missed the call.


Yes it is called, please refer to the above part of the stack that I have pasted.

This raises questions if this will work for the configurations when other bridge is used for HPD events.

Let's not mix the levels of processing. If we should not disable the link because it is already disabled, let's just do so rather than failing the atomic_check().


This is only for MSM DP's bridge. If we use another bridge which is capable of handling its own HPD, then that time MSM DP's bridge shouldnt set this flag.

Not quite. The bridges set the ops to describe the ops that they support themselves. Then the drm_bridge_connectors selects the bridge handling hpd, etc. So the DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HPD is always set for DP sources. But the question is quite the opposite: if we have the next bridge (e.g. the usb-c-connector or the display-connector), will the is_connected field be set correctly?


We can even replace this check with just checking if connector_type is DP but that would again open the discussion of having DP/eDP specific checks so we did it this way.
