[PATCH] drm/mediatek: Add spinlock for setting vblank event in atomic_begin

[Jason-JH.Lin]

Add spinlock protection to avoid race condition on vblank event
between mtk_drm_crtc_atomic_begin() and mtk_drm_finish_page_flip().

Also, I verified that this fixes a real world system hang issue on the
MT8195 Chromebook.

Hello Jason,

Can you please provide more information about this race condition?

...because my suspect is that what creates the race condition in this function is
the unlocked *assignment* to mtk_crtc->event, not the rest.

If I'm right, you don't need to unconditionally spinlock at the beginning of this
function hence ever-so-slightly improving performance compared to this version.

Can you please try this one and check if this *also* solves the issue?

	if (mtk_crtc_state->base.event) {
		mtk_crtc_state->base.event->pipe = drm_crtc_index(crtc);
		WARN_ON(drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc) != 0);

		spin_lock_irqsave(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);
		mtk_crtc->event = mtk_crtc_state->base.event;
		spin_lock_irqrestore(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);

		mtk_crtc_state->base.event = NULL;
	}

P.S.: I'd try that myself, but I can't seem to reproduce the issue.

Regards,
Angelo

I'm still able to reproduce it so I gave it a try, and this approach
also seems to fix the issue.  :)
FWIW, the way I reproduce that is to toggle the night light mode on
and off repeatedly through the UI panel while playing YouTube videos
on my device.

Jason, can you post a new version with Angelo's suggestion?

Fei

Hi Angelo

Thanks for the reviews.

Hi Fei,

Thanks for the testing.

I can't reproduce the system hang issue reported from customer by
toggling the night light mode in UI panel either.
But I can see the error message "new event while there is still a
pending event" when I was reproducing the issue.

Here is the debug info from "Wei-Shun <weishunc@google.com>":

From the kernel tracing:
99342.377173: mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.377226:
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event <-mtk_crtc_ddp_irq
99342.393831:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.393887:
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event <-mtk_crtc_ddp_irq
99342.410469:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.410519:
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event <-mtk_crtc_ddp_irq
99342.427094:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.443831:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.460495:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.477157:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.493841:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler
99342.510453:
mtk_crtc_ddp_irq <-mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler

Every mtk_crtc_ddp_irq should come with a drm_crtc_send_vblank_event.
However, when the issue happens, the mtk_crtc_ddp_irq keeps firing but
no drm_crtc_send_vblank_event. I suspect this is the main reason
causing flip_done timeout.

In mtk_drm_crtc.c, mtk_crtc->config_updating and mtk_crtc-
>pending_needs_vblank are the conditions that may impact the vblank
event.

static void mtk_drm_finish_page_flip(struct mtk_drm_crtc *mtk_crtc)
{
    struct drm_crtc *crtc = &mtk_crtc->base;
    unsigned long flags;

    drm_crtc_handle_vblank(&mtk_crtc->base);

    spin_lock_irqsave(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);
==> if (!mtk_crtc->config_updating && mtk_crtc->pending_needs_vblank) {
         mtk_drm_crtc_finish_page_flip(mtk_crtc);
         mtk_crtc->pending_needs_vblank = false;
    }
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);
}


There are 3 lines are called in mtk_drm_crtc_finish_page_flip():
drm_crtc_send_vblank_event(crtc, mtk_crtc->event);
drm_crtc_vblank_put(crtc);
mtk_crtc->event = NULL;

So I want to protect these 3 things to avoid them encountering race
conditions:
mtk_crtc_state->base.event //will be provided on atomic_commit complete
drm_crtc_vblank_get(crtc)
mtk_crtc->event


I have tried to protect this line only:

spin_lock_irqsave(&crtc->dev->event_lock, flags);
mtk_crtc->event = mtk_crtc_state->base.event;
spin_lock_irqrestore(&crtc->dev->event_lock,flags);

I can still see the error message "new event while there is still a
pending event" when I toggled the night light mode.

Maybe that is mtk_crtc->event here:
if (mtk_crtc->event && mtk_crtc_state->base.event)
haven't set to NULL by mtk_drm_crtc_finish_page_flip().

But that not a problem because we will protect mtk_crtc->event here:
mtk_crtc->event = mtk_crtc_state->base.event;


So should we remove that error message since it doesn't help and may
cause the confuse after we fix this issue?

OK, I can take Angelo's suggestion. Thanks!
But I am wondering if we should remove this log?
DRM_ERROR("new event while there is still a pending event\n");
