Sasha,

1. I cannot find this commit posted on lore.kernel.org to report to
exact patch.

| Subject: [PATCH 6.12/sisyphus] drm/xe: Switch MMIO interface to take xe_mmio
| instead of xe_gt
|
| [ Upstream commit a84590c5ceb354d2e9f7f6812cfb3a9709e14afa ]
|
| Since much of the MMIO register access done by the driver is to non-GT
| registers, use of 'xe_gt' in these interfaces has been a long-standing
| design flaw that's been hard to disentangle.
|
| To avoid a flag day across the whole driver, munge the function names
| and add temporary compatibility macros with the original function names
| that can accept either the new xe_mmio or the old xe_gt structure as a
| parameter. This will allow us to slowly convert parts of the driver
| over to the new interface independently.

2. After this patch applied to 6.12.75 there is kernel NULL pointer
dereference BUG on MSI MAG H670 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600K
with ASRock Intel Arc B580 Challenger [Alchemist], 12GB:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
CPU: 8 UID: 0 PID: 310 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.12.79-6.12-alt1 #1
Hardware name: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-7D25/MAG H670 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4(MS-7D25), BIOS H.N0 07/31/2025
RIP: 0010:__xe_mmio_read32+0x23/0xe0 [xe]

The commit is found not by a git bisect (since it's reported by end
user and I cannot reproduce it on my hardware) but (by analyzing dmesg)
with:

(gdb) list *__xe_mmio_read32+0x23
0x35723 is in __xe_mmio_read32 (drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_mmio.c:195).
190 static void mmio_flush_pending_writes(struct xe_mmio *mmio)
191 {
192 #define DUMMY_REG_OFFSET 0x130030
193 int i;
194
195 if (mmio->tile->xe->info.platform != XE_LUNARLAKE)
196 return;
197
198 /* 4 dummy writes */
199 for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)

Then finding the suspecting commit:

$ git log --oneline -G'XE_LUNARLAKE' v6.12.74..v6.12.75
26a40327c25c drm/xe: Switch MMIO interface to take xe_mmio instead of xe_gt

6.18 and above are not affected by the bug. Also, they have another commit
modifying the line which is not present in 6.12 branch:

ac596dee8008 drm/xe: Move Wa_15015404425 to use the new XE_DEVICE_WA macro

Thanks,

#regzbot introduced: v6.12.75
