Nouveau - Feb 2018 - [PATCH 3/5] drm/nouveau: Fix deadlock on runtime suspend

Fix a deadlock on hybrid graphics laptops that's been present since 2013:

DRM drivers poll connectors in 10 sec intervals.  The poll worker is
stopped on ->runtime_suspend with cancel_delayed_work_sync().  However
the poll worker invokes the DRM drivers' ->detect callbacks, which call
pm_runtime_get_sync().  If the poll worker starts after runtime suspend
has begun, pm_runtime_get_sync() will wait for runtime suspend to finish
with the intention of runtime resuming the device afterwards.  The result
is a circular wait between poll worker and autosuspend worker.

I'm seeing this deadlock so often it's not funny anymore. I've also
found
3 nouveau bugzillas about it and 1 radeon bugzilla. (See patch [3/5] and
[4/5].)

One theoretical solution would be to add a flag to the ->detect callback
to tell it that it's running in the poll worker's context.  In that case
it doesn't need to call pm_runtime_get_sync() because the poll worker is
only enabled while runtime active and we know that ->runtime_suspend
waits for it to finish.  But this approach would require touching every
single DRM driver's ->detect hook.  Moreover the ->detect hook is
called
from numerous other places, both in the DRM library as well as in each
driver, making it necessary to trace every possible call chain and check
if it's coming from the poll worker or not.  I've tried to do that for
nouveau (see the call sites listed in the commit message of patch [3/5])
and concluded that this approach is a nightmare to implement.

Another reason for the infeasibility of this approach is that ->detect
is called from within the DRM library without driver involvement, e.g.
via DRM's sysfs interface.  In those cases, pm_runtime_get_sync() would
have to be called by the DRM library, but the DRM library is supposed to
stay generic, wheras runtime PM is driver-specific.

So instead, I've come up with this much simpler solution which gleans
from the current task's flags if it's a workqueue worker, retrieves the
work_struct and checks if it's the poll worker.  All that's needed is
one small helper in the workqueue code and another small helper in the
DRM library.  This solution lends itself nicely to stable-backporting.

The patches for radeon and amdgpu are compile-tested only, I only have a
MacBook Pro with an Nvidia GK107 to test.  To test the patches, add an
"msleep(12*1000);" at the top of the driver's ->runtime_suspend
hook.
This ensures that the poll worker runs after ->runtime_suspend has begun.
Wait 12 sec after the GPU has begun runtime suspend, then check
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/runtime_status.  Without this
series, the status will be stuck at "suspending" and you'll get
hung task
errors in dmesg after a few minutes.

i915, malidp and msm "solved" this issue by not stopping the poll
worker
on runtime suspend.  But this results in the GPU bouncing back and forth
between D0 and D3 continuously.  That's a total no-go for GPUs which
runtime suspend to D3cold since every suspend/resume cycle costs a
significant amount of time and energy.  (i915 and malidp do not seem
to acquire a runtime PM ref in the ->detect callbacks, which seems
questionable.  msm however does and would also deadlock if it disabled
the poll worker on runtime suspend.  cc += Archit, Liviu, intel-gfx)

Please review.  Thanks,

Lukas

radeon's ->runtime_suspend hook calls drm_kms_helper_poll_disable(),
which waits for the output poll worker to finish if it's running.

The output poll worker meanwhile calls pm_runtime_get_sync() in
radeon's ->detect hooks, which waits for the ongoing suspend to finish,
causing a deadlock.

Fix by not acquiring a runtime PM ref if the ->detect hooks are called
in the output poll worker's context.  This is safe because the poll
worker is only enabled while runtime active and we know that
->runtime_suspend waits for it to finish.

nouveau's ->runtime_suspend hook calls drm_kms_helper_poll_disable(),
which waits for the output poll worker to finish if it's running.

The output poll worker meanwhile calls pm_runtime_get_sync() in
nouveau_connector_detect() which waits for the ongoing suspend to finish,
causing a deadlock.

Fix by not acquiring a runtime PM ref if nouveau_connector_detect() is
called in the output poll worker's context.  This is safe because
the poll worker is only enabled while runtime active and we know that
->runtime_suspend waits for it to finish.

Other contexts calling nouveau_connector_detect() do require a runtime
PM ref, these comprise:

2.15.1

Introduce a helper to determine if the current task is an output poll
worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for the output poll worker
to finish and the worker in turn calls a ->detect callback which waits
for runtime suspend to finish.  The ->detect callback is invoked from
multiple call sites and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the
correct thing to do except if it's executing in the context of the
worker.

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish.  That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

I wasn't quite sure where to add that msleep. I've tested the patches
as is on top of agd5f's wip branch without ill effects

I've had a radeon and now a amdgpu PRIME setup and don't believe
I've
ever seen this issue

If you could pop a patch together for the msleep I'll give it a test on
amdgpu

Cheers

Here you go, this is for all 3 drivers.
Should deadlock without the series.
Thanks!

In i915 polling is on during runtime suspend only if there are outputs
without hotplug interrupt support. A special case is when an output has
working HPD interrupts when in D0, but no interrupts when runtime
suspended. For these we start polling (from a scheduled work) in the
runtime suspend hook and stop it in the runtime resume hook (again from
a scheduled work).

Imo whether to leave polling on or not for the above purpose is a policy
question (configurable with the drm_kms_helper.poll param).

I wonder whether it's too generic a name but there are other functions
named in a similar fashion and AFAICS current_work isn't used by
anyone in the tree, so it seems okay.

Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj at kernel.org>

Please feel free to route as you see fit.

Thanks.

This patchset is a no-brainer for me. I'm ashamed to say I think I might
have
seen this issue before, but polling gets used so rarely nowadays it slipped
under the rug by accident.

Anyway, for the whole series  (except patch #2, which I will respond to with a
short comment in just a moment):

For this, it would be worth explicitly noting in the comments herethat this
should be called by DRM drivers in order to prevent racing with hotplug
polling workers, so that new drivers in the future can avoid implementing this
race condition in their driver.

I think I understand the problem you are trying to solve, but I'm
struggling to understand where malidp makes any specific mistakes. First
of all, malidp is only a display engine, so there is no GPU attached to
it, but that is only a small clarification. Second, malidp doesn't use
directly any of the callbacks that you are referring to, it uses the
drm_cma_xxxx() API plus the generic drm_xxxx() call. So if there are any
issues there (as they might well be) I think they would apply to a lot
more drivers and the fix will involve more than just malidp, i915 and
msm.

Would love to get any clarifications on what I might have misunderstood.

Best regards,
Liviu

I don't know if malidp makes any specific mistakes and didn't mean to
cast it in a negative light, sorry.

So a lot of DRM drivers acquire a runtime PM ref in the connector ->detect
hook because they can't probe connectors while runtime suspended.
E.g. for a PCI device, probing might require mmio access, which isn't
possible outside of power state D0.  There are no ->detect hooks declared
in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/, so it's unclear to me whether you're able to
probe
during runtime suspend.

hdlcd_drv.c and malidp_drv.c both enable output polling.  Output polling
is only necessary if you don't get HPD interrupts.

You're not disabling polling upon runtime suspend.  Thus, if a runtime PM
ref is acquired during polling (such as in a ->detect hook), the GPU will
be runtime resumed every 10 secs.  You may want to verify that's not the
case.  If you decide that you do want to stop polling during runtime
suspend because it runtime resumes the GPU continuously, you'll need the
helper introduced in this series.  So by cc'ing you I just wanted to keep
you in the loop about an issue that may potentially affect your driver.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks,

Lukas

Introduce a helper to determine if the current task is an output poll
worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for the output poll worker
to finish and the worker in turn calls a ->detect callback which waits
for runtime suspend to finish.  The ->detect callback is invoked from
multiple call sites and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the
correct thing to do except if it's executing in the context of the
worker.

v2: Expand kerneldoc to specifically mention deadlock between
    output poll worker and autosuspend worker as use case. (Lyude)

I'm lacking experience making such decisions and would be interested

I would say fixes, it doesn't look particularly scary. :)

Pushed to drm-misc-fixes, thanks a lot everyone for the acks,
reviews, testing and comments.

drm-misc maintainers, heads-up:

drm-misc-fixes is still based on 4.15-rc8.  The present series
applies cleanly to both 4.15 and 4.16, so I had no need to have
4.16-rc1 backmerged, but that may be necessary sooner or later.
I did a local test pull into drm-fixes, the shortlog looked sane
and it merged and compiled cleanly.

Please note two other commits are still pending in drm-misc-fixes:

    commit 745fd50f3b044db6a3922e1718306555613164b0

    drm/cirrus: Load lut in crtc_commit

Gustavo sent a pull request for this one on Jan 31 but erroneously
based it on the wrong commit and it ended up not being pulled by Dave.

    commit 54f809cfbd6b4a43959039f5d33596ed3297ce16

    Date:   Wed Jan 17 12:51:08 2018 +0100

    drm/atomic: Fix memleak on ERESTARTSYS during non-blocking commits

This one has already been pulled by Dave into drm-next for 4.17
as commit 1c6ceeee6ebb but Maarten subsequently cherry-picked
it onto drm-misc-fixes.

Let me know if I've made any mistakes.

Thanks,

Lukas

Don't shut down the poll worker when runtime suspending, that'
doesn't
work. If you need the poll work, then that means waking up the gpu every
few seconds. If you don't need it, then make sure the DRM_CONNECTOR_POLL
flags are set correctly (you can update them at runtime, the poll worker
will pick that up).

That should fix the deadlock, and it's how we do it in i915 (where igt in
CI totally hammers the runtime pm support, and it seems to hold up).

And I guess we need to improve the poll worker docs about this.

Well, userspace expects hotplug events, even when we runtime suspend
stuff. Hence waking shit up with polling. Imo ignoring hotplug events is a
pretty serious policy decision which is ok in the context of
vga_switcheroo, but not really as an automatic thing. E.g. usb also wakes
up if you plug something in, even with all the runtime pm stuff enabled.
Same for sata and everything else.

It would fix the deadlock but it's not an option on dual GPU laptops.
Power consumption of the discrete GPU is massive (9 W on my machine).

On the MacBook Pro, the HPD pin of external DP and HDMI ports goes into
the gmux controller, which sends an interrupt on hotplug even if the GPU
is powered down.

Apparently Optimus has a similar functionality, cf. 3a6536c51d5d.

For the rare cases where an external VGA or DVI-A port is present, I guess
it's reasonable to have the user wake up the machine manually.

I'm not sure why nouveau polls ports on my laptop, the GK107 only has an
LVDS and three DP ports, need to investigate.

Thanks,

Lukas
