Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 09/58] drm/amdgpu/gfx11: fix CSIB handling
Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2025 19:39:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250601234012.3516352-9-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250601234012.3516352-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit a9a8bccaa3ba64d509cf7df387cf0b5e1cd06499 ]
We shouldn't return after the last section.
We need to update the rest of the CSIB.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. ##
Analysis ### Code Change Analysis The commit fixes a **critical bug in
CSIB (Clear State Init Buffer) handling** in the GFX11 AMD GPU driver.
The problematic code in `gfx_v11_0_get_csb_buffer()` at line 861
contained: ```c } else { return; // This was the bug! } ``` This early
return statement prevented the function from completing the CSIB setup
when encountering non-SECT_CONTEXT sections. The fix removes this
premature return, allowing the function to continue and properly
complete the buffer initialization with: 1.
**PA_SC_TILE_STEERING_OVERRIDE register setup** (lines 866-870) 2.
**PACKET3_PREAMBLE_END_CLEAR_STATE** (lines 872-873) 3.
**PACKET3_CLEAR_STATE** (lines 875-876) ### Why This Qualifies for
Backporting 1. **Fixes Important Hardware Initialization Bug**: CSIB is
critical for GPU state management. Incomplete initialization can cause
GPU hangs, rendering artifacts, or system instability. 2. **Small,
Contained Fix**: The change removes only 2 lines (`} else { return; }`)
- minimal and low-risk. 3. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a pure
bugfix with no new features or major code restructuring. 4. **Critical
Subsystem**: Graphics drivers are essential for system functionality,
and GPU state corruption can cause severe user-visible issues. 5.
**Pattern Consistency**: Looking at similar sections across different
GFX versions (v10, v9, etc.), they all handle non-SECT_CONTEXT sections
by continuing rather than returning early, confirming this was indeed a
bug. ### Historical Context Support From examining the codebase, this
pattern is consistent across all GFX generations: - **gfx_v10_0.c:4227**
and **gfx_v10_0.c:4266**: Handle SECT_CONTEXT but continue for other
sections - **gfx_v9_0.c:1609** and **gfx_v9_0.c:1645**: Same pattern -
**gfx_v8_0.c**, **gfx_v7_0.c**, **gfx_v6_0.c**: All follow the same
approach The previous GFX10 CSIB fix (commit 4905880b4515) shows AMD's
commitment to ensuring proper CSIB initialization across GPU
generations, reinforcing the importance of this subsystem. ### Risk
Assessment - **Regression Risk**: Extremely low - only removes incorrect
early termination - **Testing Surface**: Affects GFX11 GPU
initialization, easily testable - **Side Effects**: None - only allows
completion of intended initialization sequence This is a textbook
example of a stable-worthy fix: important bug, minimal change, no
regression risk, and affects critical hardware functionality.
