Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/pm: Fix incorrect avg vcn utilization in gpu_metrics
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 07:02:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805140227.44868-1-boqun@kernel.org> (raw)

In a Strix Halo system, a >100 average_vcn_activity in gpu_metrics can
be observed by running the following command:

    ffmpeg -hwaccel vappi -vappi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i \
    ~/sample-10s.mp4 -vf hwupload,scale_vappi=format=nv12 -c:v \
    h264_vappi /tmp/output.mp4

This is incorrect because the value is supposed to be in [0-100] range.

The cause of the issue is that the metrics.VcnActivity reported by
smu_cmn_get_metrics_table() is a permyriad value instead of a percentage
value (e.g. smu_v14_0_0_get_smu_metrics_data() has a division by 100 to
report the vcn_busy_percent). Therefore fix this by applying the same
division in smu_v14_0_0_get_gpu_metrics().
