[PATCH] drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded

[PATCH] drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when
there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command
submission.

This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the
chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere.
Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of
eight.

Work around it by introducing a new power domain named,
POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is
held for the duration of command submission activity.

v2:
 * Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson)
 * Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula)

v3:
 * Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre)
 * Commit message and comment text updates.
 * Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC
   firmware release.

We can't have a dmc_payload unless CSR, right?

Which is the outer wakeref? I expect runtime, being device-global, to be
the outer wakeref, with display_power_put being the inner subset.

Yes, logically the runtime ref is the outer one. But
intel_display_power_get() takes a runtime ref too and both runtime and
display power references can be held for "a long time" and so can be
taken in both order.

Doesn't this check race with the async dmc loading? I.e. when you submit
something right at boot-up, before DMC is fully loaded, we might end up
with an unbalanced pm refcount.

I think given that DMC is strongly recommended there shouldn't be a real
cost with making this unconditional.

With that changed:

Oh yeah, well spotted.

I don't know, not liking it on the first go. But then again I have no 
idea how much power would that waste for use cases where DMC fw is 
deliberately not present.

Perhaps it would be acceptable to mark GT busy during the async CSR 
load. Chris, any thoughts?

It's tightly coupled to requests, adding in an external call seems
troublesome.

What's the reason for depending on the CSR being loaded? The old fw is
broke no matter what, it doesn't get any more broken by us holding a
powerwell wakeref. I think we should go for simplicity and always take
the powerwell along with the rpm?

It's the unknown, maybe only for me, on how much power always holding 
the power well would waste for use cases where DMC firmware has been 
deliberately removed.

If I understand correctly that the Daniel's and your proposal is to just 
got with HAS_CSR as the wa/ criteria, instead of fw loaded check.

If I am reading the powerwell code correctly, it already takes the dmc
fw into account. I would transfer the problem to there :) i.e. we have
an unconditional call from gt:mark_busy, gt:mark_idle and the powerwell
code knows what needs to be done under the different circumstances.

Yes, a power well ref for all domains is held while the firmware is
being loaded, or the firmware fails to load. So taking it
unconditionally is ok (not counting the platform check due to the
corruption issue).

I only meant that we pm_put without pm_get (because when we would have
called pm_get dmc_payload == NULL and then != NULL when we reach the check
for pm_put).

The actual get/put vs. dmc loading should be protected already by the
async dmc load code holding pm references to prevent any havoc.

BXT and GLK seems to be also affected so IS_GEN9().

It needs to be added to BXT too.

[PATCH v4] drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when
there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command
submission.

This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the
chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere.
Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of
eight.

Work around it by introducing a new power domain named,
POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is
held for the duration of command submission activity.

v2:
 * Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson)
 * Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula)

v3:
 * Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre)
 * Commit message and comment text updates.
 * Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC
   firmware release.

v4:
 * Power domain should be inner to device runtime pm. (Chris)
 * Simplify NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro. (Chris)
 * Handle async DMC loading by moving the GT_IRQ power domain logic into
   intel_runtime_pm. (Daniel, Chris)
 * Include small core GEN9 as well. (Imre)

Is it possible to have any GT activity before
intel_power_domains_init_hw() / intel_csr_ucode_init()? I couldn't spot
anything at least. Calling into the power well code before those isn't
correct in any case. If so, the INIT power ref taken in
intel_csr_ucode_init() makes sure the above scenario can't happen and
then we don't need dmc_payload check in NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA() either.

intel_csr_ucode_init schedules a worker to actually load the firmware so 
unless I am missing some synchronisation point it can happen.

Simpler solution would be to only base the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA on 
HAS_CSR, but then if someone removes the firmware deliberately we lose 
power keeping this power well up needlessly, no?

What I meant is that the INIT domain ref we take before scheduling that
work makes the dmc_payload check redundant both during getting and
putting the GT_IRQ domain. Without that check if the FW is not loaded
yet (or won't be at all) those get/puts will just inc/dec the GT_IRQ
domain refcount, but won't result in enabling/disabling the DC-off power
well, so will be kind of nops.

If the firmware can't be loaded runtime PM as a whole is anyway disabled
(due to the above INIT power domain ref not being released).

You know, I did not even notice the DMC code leaves the power domain 
grabbed if the fw load fails. Maybe the hints were to subtle, or I would 
just not expect something like that. Guess thats what you get when you 
have someone unfamiliar with the area fiddle around. :)

I'll respin..

[PATCH v5] drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when
there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command
submission.

This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the
chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere.
Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of
eight.

Work around it by introducing a new power domain named,
POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is
held for the duration of command submission activity.

v2:
 * Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson)
 * Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula)

v3:
 * Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre)
 * Commit message and comment text updates.
 * Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC
   firmware release.

v4:
 * Power domain should be inner to device runtime pm. (Chris)
 * Simplify NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro. (Chris)
 * Handle async DMC loading by moving the GT_IRQ power domain logic into
   intel_runtime_pm. (Daniel, Chris)
 * Include small core GEN9 as well. (Imre)

v5
 * Special handling for async DMC load is not needed since on failure the
   power domain reference is kept permanently taken. (Imre)

I was hoping that in the magic of the powerdomains, this would just
evaporate (or at least find its own place within the powerwell enabling).

If Imre is happy with plonking this here,

Or at least good enough for now and can be improved upon?

One of my earlier approaches was to remove the domain from the power 
well bitmask when the DMC load fails, but I wasn't sure if the power 
well arrays should (could?) really be const, and how ugly it would be to 
expose some API to allow external callers to do that. Not sure, Imre 
indeed to the rescue please. :)

Tvrtko

Nitpick: could be just !IS_SKYLAKE(), but works in the above way too.
For all other platforms the GT_IRQ domain won't be mapped making
display_power_get/put on those just a domain ref inc/dec, otherwise a
nop.

Yep, that would be "normally" the case. But since we have only a single
set of domains->powerwells mapping for all GEN9_BC we can't isolate SKL
that way w/o duplicating the mapping for SKL. Although all GEN9_BC are
the same from power well handling POV for some reason there are still
separate DMC firmwares for KBL/CFL and SKL. The corruption problem is
only fixed in the KBL/CFL firmware the SKL one still to be added to
linux-firmware.git .. At that point we can also remove these checks.

Yes, looks ok and can adjust for SKL later.

Folks, is my understanding correct that once SKL DMC will be merged we
just remove !IS_SKYLAKE from the above check to get the performance fix
for SKL and nothing more changes in the patch? I am asking because there
is a need to have SKL patch on the plate already to verify the fix
sooner rather than later. From this perspective, can we have one more
patch in the series dedicated to fix SKL right now? After all, SKL DMC
is available in drm-firmware already, those who need can try it.

The fixed SKL firmware is now in linux-firmware.git.

Tvrtko, could you resend the patch without the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA()
check?

[PATCH v6] drm/i915: Restore GT performance in headless mode with DMC loaded

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It seems that the DMC likes to transition between the DC states a lot when
there are no connected displays (no active power domains) during command
submission.

This activity on DC states has a negative impact on the performance of the
chip with huge latencies observed in the interrupt handlers and elsewhere.
Simple tests like igt/gem_latency -n 0 are slowed down by a factor of
eight.

Work around it by introducing a new power domain named,
POWER_DOMAIN_GT_IRQ, associtated with the "DC off" power well, which is
held for the duration of command submission activity.

v2:
 * Add commit text as comment in i915_gem_mark_busy. (Chris Wilson)
 * Protect macro body with braces. (Jani Nikula)

v3:
 * Add dedicated power domain for clarity. (Chris, Imre)
 * Commit message and comment text updates.
 * Apply to all big-core GEN9 parts apart for Skylake which is pending DMC
   firmware release.

v4:
 * Power domain should be inner to device runtime pm. (Chris)
 * Simplify NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro. (Chris)
 * Handle async DMC loading by moving the GT_IRQ power domain logic into
   intel_runtime_pm. (Daniel, Chris)
 * Include small core GEN9 as well. (Imre)

v5
 * Special handling for async DMC load is not needed since on failure the
   power domain reference is kept permanently taken. (Imre)

v6:
 * Drop the NEEDS_CSR_GT_PERF_WA macro since all firmwares have now been
   deployed. (Imre, Chris)

Could we add a note that Cannonlake is excluded and needs to be checked
as to whether it suffers the same?

Looks like CNL has the same problem, I added a note about this and a
follow-up patch to the commit log.

Thanks for the patch and reviews, I pushed it to drm-tip.

Why not +&& !IS_BROXTON(dev_priv) by the way?

We have the same slow-down problem on APL/BXT (and we don't have the DC6
corruption problem there).
