Hi,
With two monitors on a Thunderbolt 4 dock, one of them comes up limited
to 4K@30 after every boot (or dock re-plug). Which one gets 60 Hz is
effectively random. Plugging the monitors in one at a time, in the right
order, gives 4K@60 on both until the next boot. The cause is
the order-dependent DP tunnel bandwidth reservation in tb_tunnel_one_dp().
I was able to solve the issue with a patch to
`drivers/thunderbolt/tb.c`. Now I get 4K @ 60Hz
on both monitors every time.
Here is the repo with a fix:
https://github.com/mdimura/thunderbolt-dpcap-dkms
Setup
-----
Host: Dell Latitude 7430, Alder Lake-UP3 (Iris Xe, i915), BIOS 1.43.0
Host router 8087:463e, USB4 1.0, software CM
Dock: Dell WD22TB4 (00d4:b071), NVM 41.81
Link: 2 x 20 Gb/s (40 Gb/s), retimer 8087:15ee NVM 10.0
Sinks: 2x Samsung LU28R55 (4K@60, HDMI)
#1: dock rear TB4 port -> USB-C-to-HDMI adapter (SST)
#2: dock HDMI port, behind the dock's internal MST hub
Kernel: 7.2.14-arch1-1, default module parameters
(bw_alloc_mode=Y, dprx_timeout=12000)
Observed state (broken)
-----------------------
tbtunnels (tbtools) after boot:
Route 0 Adapter 5 <-> Route 3 Adapter 13: DisplayPort
Rate: 5400 Mb/s * 4
Route 0 Adapter 6 <-> Route 3 Adapter 14: DisplayPort
Rate: 2700 Mb/s * 4
Route 0 Adapter 9 <-> Route 3 Adapter 9: PCIe
Route 0 Adapter 13 <-> Route 3 Adapter 16: USB 3
Allocated Upstream/Downstream Bandwidth: 9003/9003 Mb/s
DPCD 0x0001/0x0002 read via /dev/drm_dp_aux* (as seen by i915):
TC1 (tunnel 0:5 -> 3:13): max 0x14 / 0xc4 (HBR2 x4) -> 4K@60
TC2 (tunnel 0:6 -> 3:14): max 0x0a / 0xc4 (HBR x4) -> 4K@30 only
i915 drops the 4K@60 modes on the MST connector because HBR x4
(8640 Mb/s) cannot carry 4K@60 at 8 bpc (~12.8 Gb/s).
Workaround
----------
Add a parameter capping the per-tunnel reservation in tb_tunnel_one_dp():
```
if (dp_max_bw > 0)
{
if (available_up > dp_max_bw)
available_up = dp_max_bw;
if (available_down > dp_max_bw)
available_down = dp_max_bw;
}
```
With thunderbolt.dp_max_bw=17280 both tunnels come up at HBR2 x4 and
both monitors run at 4K@60 on every boot. That is a user knob, though,
not a fix. Some possible proper fixes:
a) Defer creating a new DP tunnel while another DP tunnel sharing the
same links still has its DPRX read pending. Call tb_tunnel_dp()
again from tb_dp_tunnel_active() once it completes.
b) After a DPRX read completes and frees bandwidth, re-run
xchg_caps/re-establish DP tunnels that were reduced earlier.
c) When several DP OUTs are available at once, split the available
bandwidth between the pending tunnels instead of first-come
first-served.
Note that (a) alone does not cover every ordering. If the MST hub's
tunnel goes first, its DPRX is genuinely HBR3 x4 (25920 Mb/s), and the
second tunnel is still starved. So some form of (b) or (c) seems
necessary.
I'm happy to test patches.
Diagnostic output attached.
Best regards,
Mykola Dimura.

Yes, this is by design. It's now called the "legacy" mode because it works
exactly like the firmware CM: first monitor gets all, second gets what is
left. So plugging them one by one is the correct workaround. The solution
to this is the bandwidth allocation mode but unfortunately it's not
supported until Meteor Lake.
We don't really want to add any new command line parameters. I have an
internal patch series that makes it possible from userspace to affect the
monitor selection via eBPF but that's not yet ready to be upstreamed. It
would help in your case though.

Hi,
I see, thank you for the answer. Hopefully, the eBPF patches will be
upstreamed at some point. In the meantime I can live with the
workaround I have now.
