The PIPEDSL freezes on PSR entry and if PSR hasn't fully exited, then the pipe_update_start call schedules itself out to check back later. On ChromeOS-4.4 kernel, which is fairly up-to-date w.r.t drm/i915 but lags w.r.t core kernel code, hot plugging an external display triggers tons of "potential atomic update errors" in the dmesg, on *pipe A*. A closer analysis reveals that we try to read the scanline 3 times and eventually timeout, b/c PSR hasn't exited fully leading to a PIPEDSL stuck @ 1599. This issue is not seen on upstream kernels, b/c for *some* reason we loop inside intel_pipe_update start for ~2+ msec which in this case is more than enough to exit PSR fully, hence an *unstuck* PIPEDSL counter, hence no error. On the other hand, the ChromeOS kernel spends ~1.1 msec looping inside intel_pipe_update_start and hence errors out b/c the source is still in PSR. Regardless, we should wait for PSR exit (if PSR is disabled, we incur a ~1-2 usec penalty) before reading the PIPEDSL, b/c if we haven't fully exited PSR, then checking for vblank evasion isn't actually applicable. v4: Comment explaining psr_wait after enabling VBL interrupts (DK) v5: CAN_PSR() to handle platforms that don't support PSR. v6: Handle local_irq_disable on early return (Chris) Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Reviewed-by: Dhinakaran Pandiyan <dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tarun Vyas <tarun.vyas@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dhinakaran Pandiyan <dhinakaran.pandiyan@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180627200250.1515-2-tarun.vyas@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
