Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] drm/xe/guc: Use different error codes for CT errors
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 16:40:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903233958.475162-9-umesh.nerlige.ramappa@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903233958.475162-7-umesh.nerlige.ramappa@intel.com>
Instead of always returning -EPROTO for most errors, use different error
codes based on the error type. -EPROTO is retained for the cases that
are genuine protocol violations by the GuC. The remaining cases now
report what actually went wrong.
receive_g2h() used to escalate to CT_DEAD + kick_reset() by matching the
two error codes that dequeue_one_g2h() could return on a fatal error.
Invert the check to simplify reset handling.
v2: (Michal)
- Sync order of errors in g2h_read and __guc_ct_send_locked
- For CT errors use EPIPE and for HXG errors use EPROTO
- Convert the non-fatal EPIPE to EPERM in the helper
