VOP2 fetches the scanout data for all of its video ports over a single
AXI clock. On RK3588 that clock is pinned to 500 MHz by the device tree
and nothing ever raises it, so a mode whose pixel rate outruns what the
AXI clock can deliver underruns the internal scanout FIFO. The hardware
reports this as POST_BUF_EMPTY and the picture is corrupted.
3840x2160@120 over DisplayPort is such a mode. Measured on an Orange Pi
5 Plus by moving the rate at runtime while the mode was up, with dclk
unchanged at 594 MHz throughout, so that the AXI rate was the only
variable:
500 MHz: ~594000 suppressed vop2_isr callbacks per 5 s, corrupted
750 MHz: no POST_BUF_EMPTY at all for the 42 s the phase lasted, clean
500 MHz: ~607000 suppressed callbacks per 5 s, corrupted again
Both transitions are immediate. Heiko Stuebner reports the same
starvation on different hardware [1].
The requirement follows each port's pixel rate rather than its interface
clock, and it is per port rather than aggregate. Two measurements at
500 MHz pin that down:
- a single port scanning out 3840x2160@120 underruns, while the same
composed pixel rate spread over three ports - 3840x2160@60 on one
and 3840x2160@30 on two others - is clean for a minute with no
underrun on any of them. The totals are equal to the pixel:
3840*2160*120 == 3840*2160*(60+30+30).
- 3840x2160@60 is clean where 3840x2160@120 is not, although both run
dclk at 594 MHz on this board: the 120 Hz link is YCbCr 4:2:0, which
halves dclk without halving the rate at which the port consumes
pixels.
So the condition belongs on each video port's own crtc_clock. Summing
across ports would be wrong, and keying on dclk would miss 4:2:0
entirely. The threshold sits between the measured points: 3840x2160@60
(594000 kHz) and 2560x1440@144 (about 586000 kHz) are both clean at the
default rate, 3840x2160@120 (1188000 kHz) is not.
Track the requirement as a global atomic state object rather than by
walking the CRTC list when the rate is applied. Each CRTC records what
it needs during its own atomic check, and the rate applied is the
maximum over the ports. Going through the atomic state is what makes
this safe: a commit only ever writes the entry for a CRTC it holds a
lock for, and never reads the state of a CRTC that a concurrent commit
may be swapping underneath it. The rate the platform set up is used as
the lower bound, so a board that already configures a higher rate keeps
it.
Tested on the same board on drm-misc-next plus the dw-dp and Rockchip
USBDP PHY series, which DisplayPort Alt Mode needs in order to come up
at all: 3840x2160@120 selects 750 MHz and runs with no underrun,
dropping to 3840x2160@60 returns the clock to 500 MHz and stays clean,
and going back raises it again. On that same kernel without this patch
the output shows no picture at any mode.

v2:
- Reworked how the requirement is tracked. v1 computed the rate by walking
the CRTC list at the point it applied it, which read the state of CRTCs the
commit holds no lock for; a concurrent non-blocking commit on another CRTC
can swap and free that state underneath. Caught by the Sashiko AI review
[2] before anyone had to trip over it. v2 has each CRTC record its own
requirement in a global atomic state object during its own atomic check and
takes the maximum over the ports, so a commit never reads state it does not
own. The shape follows vc4's handling of its core clock, which is the same
problem.
- Retested on hardware with the new mechanism, since the old measurement no
longer applies to it: 3840x2160@120 selects 750 MHz, dropping to
3840x2160@60 returns the clock to 500 MHz, and going back raises it again,
with no POST_BUF_EMPTY in any phase and nothing failing in the atomic path.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Out-of-order execution of non-blocking atomic commits causes AXI clock rate inversion, leading to hardware starvation.
- [High] Premature AXI clock lowering during simultaneous CRTC disables causes FIFO underruns.
- [Medium] Missing cleanup of `rockchip_rgb` resources on `drm_atomic_private_obj_init` failure in `vop2_bind`.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v2] drm/rockchip: vop2: Scale the AXI clock to the bandwidth the mode needs ---
commit e3a0edc8d8cda30a6d024161b316416c1d467e17
Author: Igor Paunovic <royalnet026@gmail.com>
drm/rockchip: vop2: Scale the AXI clock to the bandwidth the mode needs
VOP2 fetches the scanout data for all of its video ports over a single
AXI clock. On RK3588 that clock is pinned to 500 MHz by the device tree
and nothing ever raises it, so a mode whose pixel rate outruns what the
AXI clock can deliver underruns the internal scanout FIFO.

[Severity: High]
Does this allow older state snapshots to overwrite newer ones when
non-blocking atomic commits execute out of order?
Since the driver doesn't implement the atomic_commit_setup hook, DRM core
does not enforce execution ordering for commits that only share a
drm_private_obj.
If a compositor submits a non-blocking modeset on CRTC A (C1), followed
closely by a non-blocking modeset on CRTC B (C2), C1's atomic state captures
a snapshot of aclk_obj before C2's requirements exist.
If C1 is delayed and C2 applies its high clock rate first, when C1 finally
executes, it might apply its stale state snapshot here.
Could this override C2's higher clock requirement, dropping the AXI clock
and causing hardware starvation for the active video ports?

[Severity: High]
Can this cause premature AXI clock lowering when a single atomic commit
disables multiple active CRTCs?
During a multi-CRTC disable commit, drm_atomic_helper_commit_crtc_disable()
disables them sequentially. For the first CRTC disabled, this call applies
the new atomic state. Since the new state reflects that all participating
CRTCs will be disabled, the AXI clock is instantly dropped to its baseline.
However, the subsequent CRTCs have not yet been disabled and are still
scanning out pixels while waiting for dsp_hold_completion.
During this time window, could the lowered AXI clock be insufficient for the
remaining active CRTCs, resulting in FIFO underruns?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this error path leak rockchip_rgb resources?
If drm_atomic_private_obj_init() fails, the code jumps to the err_crtcs
label. However, the err_crtcs block only calls vop2_destroy_crtcs(vop2),
bypassing the rockchip_rgb_fini(vop2->rgb) cleanup for the RGB encoder
resources allocated earlier in vop2_bind().

The review bot found three things on v2 and all three are right. I am
answering rather than sending a v3 straight away, because the fix for
the two High ones is a single change that touches a file shared by
every Rockchip SoC, and I would rather ask about that than guess.
Both High findings come from the same shortcut. v2 keeps the
requirement in a global atomic state object, which I still think is the
right container, but it applies the rate from vop2_crtc_atomic_enable()
and _disable() rather than from the commit tail:
- Out of order commits. Two non-blocking commits on different CRTCs
share only the private object, and nothing orders them, so a commit
that took its snapshot before another CRTC raised the rate can land
after it and lower it again.
- Multi-CRTC disable. atomic_disable() runs once per CRTC, and the
first one already sees a state in which every participating CRTC is
off, so the rate drops while the others are still scanning out and
waiting for dsp_hold_completion.
vc4 solves both of these for its core clock, and what I did was take
half of that pattern instead of all of it:
- vc4_atomic_commit_setup() records a pending commit per channel in
the private state and the next commit waits on it with
drm_crtc_commit_wait(). That is the ordering v2 has no equivalent
of.
- vc4_atomic_commit_tail() holds max(old, new) for the length of the
commit and only drops to the new rate after
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done(). That is exactly the window
the second finding describes.
Hence the question. Doing the same in rockchip means adding both
.atomic_commit_setup and .atomic_commit_tail to
rockchip_mode_config_helpers in rockchip_drm_fb.c, which today carries
only .atomic_commit_tail = drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail_rpm and is
shared by every SoC this driver supports, VOP as well as VOP2. The
commit tail would be a thin wrapper around the rpm helper with the
clock work on either side of it, and both hooks would do nothing on
anything that is not RK3588.
Is that acceptable, or would you rather this stayed inside vop2 in some
other shape? I am happy to write it either way, but I would rather find
that out before than after.
The Medium finding needs no discussion: if
drm_atomic_private_obj_init() fails, the jump to err_crtcs does not
undo rockchip_rgb_init(). It is also new in this patch, since before it
nothing after rockchip_rgb_init() could fail, so it is mine and it will
be fixed in the next version whatever shape the rest takes.
