Subject: [RFC PATCH] drm/xe/vram: add decay-based reinstatement of soft-offlined VRAM pages
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:16:17 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911094616.1333590-2-tejas.upadhyay@intel.com> (raw)
The existing bad-page flow soft-offlines a VRAM page on the first HW
report and promotes it to a permanent (hard) retirement on the second
report at the same address. Once soft-offlined a page stays offline
forever, which over-punishes transient DBE errors: a single hit caused
by a one-off environmental disturbance keeps the page reserved until
the next reboot / probe.
This change adds a per VRAM-manager decay timer so that a SOFT-offlined
page is automatically reinstated after the configured decay window
(default 24 hours) of no further reports at that address. HARD-offlined
pages continue to be permanent.
Also adds the xe_page_offline_mode enum (SOFT/HARD) and per-entry mode
tracking with SOFT->HARD promotion on second hit at the same address.
Configuration via configfs bad_page_decay_secs (default 86400, 0 disables).
