[PATCH v3 00/12] media: verisilicon: Recover the Rockchip VPUs from faults and timeouts
From: Arun Iyengar via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Nov 13 2026 - 15:13:14 EST
On the RK3588, a VEPU121 encoder core that faults on an unmapped IOVA
never becomes idle again, and every later job times out. Patch 6
pulses the reset lines of the core on a timeout, and patch 7 then
reinitializes its IOMMU like rkvdec does. Patch 5 re-enables the
encoder interrupt after a reset. Patches 1 and 11 describe the optional
reset lines; patch 11 can go through the Rockchip tree.
Patch 4 stops asserting the resets on remove: the RK3588 AV1 resets
also cover its IOMMU, which then faults (SError) on runtime suspend.
It touches the same lines as Sergei Khomenkov's remove fix [1]; the
one applied second needs a trivial rebase.
Patches 8 to 10 and 12 describe the AV1 resets on its IOMMU too
(Philipp Zabel): vsi-iommu deasserts them on probe, and both drivers
acquire them only while using them. Patches 9 and 10 can go through
the iommu tree; patch 12 needs patch 8.
Patches 2 and 3 fix older bugs found by Sashiko: a NULL match in probe,
and a request left queued when the VPU can't resume. The ->run() error
paths are left to Sascha Hauer's series [2].
Tested on an Orange Pi 5 (RK3588S) on a v7.3 based kernel with other
out-of-tree Hantro patches (no 556ab0b2741d or 8e26d4c20ed2); v7.4-rc1
is build-tested only. AV1 unbind/rebind hit the SError before patch 4
and is clean with it. Provoked encoder timeouts and unmapped-IOVA
faults are reset and the next jobs encode.
All VPU cores still probe, H.264 fluster is unchanged, v4l2-compliance
-s passes on the JPEG encoder, and a job refused after a failed IOMMU
restore completes its request. Patch 3: code reading only.
With patches 8 to 10 and 12: AV1 unbind/rebind 20/20, AV1 fluster
unchanged (203/242), s2idle 3/3, encoder timeout recovery unchanged.
Developed with Claude (Anthropic), which wrote the code and the commit
messages. I reviewed every change.

Changes in v3:
- New patch 2: check the match data in hantro_probe() (Sashiko, v1)
- New patch 3: complete the request when the VPU can't resume
- Patch 7 (was 5): complete the request of a job refused after a failed
IOMMU restore (Sashiko); fail the probe if the empty domain can't be
allocated
- Patches 4 to 7 (were 2 to 5): shorter commit messages and comments
- New patches 8 to 10, 12: the AV1 resets on its IOMMU, released
reset controls (Philipp Zabel)
- Patch 11 was 6
- Patch 1: Acked-by from Krzysztof
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20261112-hantro-robust-v2-0-18561fd48838@xxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Patch 2: never assert the resets on remove or on the probe error path
- New patch 3: re-enable the encoder interrupt after a VEPU1/VEPU2 reset
- Patch 5 (was 4): restore the IOMMU only from the Rockchip encoder
reset, only with reset lines and a DMA domain; refuse later jobs if
the attach fails
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20261110-hantro-robust-v1-0-6b6269c05bfa@xxxxxxxxx
