Add a function that methodically varies min and max to exercise
several valid and invalid combinations. Allow the caller to
define what is to be checked between each step.

Storing values avoids some unnecessary overhead but more importantly
allows all of our processing to be atomic.

The current frequency should reach the minimum frequency within a
reasonable time during idle. We hold forcewake to prevent interference
from sleep states.

That smells like a hack to work around broken kernels ... Why exactly do
we need this? Also, recent upstream should auto-deboost to the lowest freq
on idle systems to avoid the gpu ending up stuck at higher frequencies.

I guess I'm a little unclear on the policy here. My understanding is that it
is acceptable for the requested frequency to remain above min if we are in
RC6, because the actual frequency is 0 MHz in that state and so we are
getting the most power savings anyway. With this in mind, I didn't want to
fail a system in which that occurred. Taking the forcewake allows us to
verify that turbo hardware is working correctly on its own merits
(particularly the interrupts). If the policy is to require that requested
frequency always go to min at idle (RC6 or not), then I will remove the
forcewake.

We've learned the hard way that the hardware can get stuck, so having such
a testcase (maybe as a separate subtest, you already add tons of other
interface checks in your series here) would be rather useful. It's not a
hard requirement but imo a good sanity check on our code (and on recent
kernels we should force the gt to the lowest frequency already when idle).

OK. I will remove the forcewake from this patch, making this subtest check
overall ability to reach min freq at idle. I'll follow-up with patches for a
subtest to include the forcewake as a variant.

The current frequency should reach the minimum frequency within a
reasonable time during idle.
v2: Not using forcewake for this particular subtest per Daniel's
suggestion.

Hm, I guess I wasn't clear enough: I've thought about adding a new subtest
which just does the check that the actual frequency reaches the lowest
level on idle a new subtest, not extend the existing one.
Same somewhat holds for your first patch, atm the testcase is a very basic
test of the kernel error checking.
But even ignoring that I'm not really sure what you're aiming at. Imo the
current coverage is good enough since it makes sure that we have at least
a bit of error checking in place. Any extensions to this test should imo
only be done when we add new features or to exercise bugs (or classes of
bugs) that actually happened. Iirc (and I didn't check olds mails, so this
might be wrong) we have some corner-cases across suspend/resume and some
with the in-kernel code to adjust the requested frequency under load. So
imo that's what we should test for.
Reading through my test requirements write-up I've just noticed that I
didn't emphasis that there's also too much testing possible imho. I'm not
a big proponent of test driven developement and similar validate
everything approaches. I guess I need to write up my thoughts about too
much testing, too ;-)
Anyway I'm a bit confused about what's the overall goal here, so please
elaborate.

Hi Daniel. I guess it would have helped if I described my overall goals
with this test development in the beginning. I have two rps related
driver patches on hold from a few months ago because you felt the igt
testing wasn't adequate to accept these. They are:
"Update rps interrupt limits"
"Restore rps/rc6 on reset"
It took me some time to get around to this, but now I am intent on
expanding pm_rps with the proper subtests to expose the issues. An outline
of the subtests I have in mind:
min-max-config-at-idle
- Manipulate min and max through sysfs and make sure driver does the right
thing. Right thing includes accepting valid values, rejecting invalid
values, ensuring that cur remains between min and max, and (for idle)
ensuring that cur reaches min after such changes. This last requirement
is not being met in part because interrupt limits are not being updated
properly when min and max are changed. That will be justification for
patch "Update rps interrupt limits".
- I have been forming this subtest as an expansion of Ben's original test.
His cases for min/max checking are a subset of this.
min-max-config-at-load
- Manipulate min and max as above, but do so during load. Check for the
same basic requirements. When heavily loaded, cur should reach max. There
is also potentially some problem with this scenario due to interrupt
limits not being updated reliably. If cur is at max, and max is then
increased, cur may stay at old max.
- This will be a new subtest that re-uses the min/max manipulation function
but just do so under load.
restore-on-reset
- Trigger gpu reset, then test that user-set (non-default) min/max settings
were retained and that turbo functions correctly when load is applied and
removed. This scenario will fail today and is the point of "Restore rps/rc6
on reset".
- This will be another new subtest not yet submitted,
So the subtests are focused on known issues. I'm open to any suggestions on
their design or implementation. Thanks.
Jeff

Oh, I didn't realize that the idle limits are currently broken and that
your first patches fixes that. I think I now also understand why do you
the idle-check at each step, so that this actually gets properly
exercised.
Problem with your approach here is that this will cause a spurious
regression report from our QA since the current min-max-config-at-idle
will suddenly starts failing (since it will test more and currently broken
things with your patches applied). And that might shadow other basic
issues (yeah, unlikely but still).
So I think the right approach here is to keep the current subtest as-is
(maybe rename it to "basic-api" since that's pretty much the only thing it
does), and then add a completely new set of subtests like you've laid out
here. So just leave the existing code as-is and copypaste the code for all
your new tests (where you make changes at least).
It's probably simplest if you do this shuffling to avoid a rebase mess
with your existing patches.

Excellent test plan imo and thanks a lot for unconfusing me.

Ah yes, expanding the subtest to the point that it uncovers an old problem
will appear as a regression from recent driver updates, which it is not. I
didn't consider this. I agree with your approach to have the current subtest
cover only basic min/max parameter validation. But I would recommend taking
patches 1-3 of this set - they work within that scope and will not cause
failures. Can we just drop patch 4? I will re-introduce it as part of adding
the new subtests.

Works for me, too. I've also mashed the rename to "basic-api" on top while
at it. Patches merged to i-g-t, thanks.
