[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau: Fix pre-nv50 pageflip events

Apparently pre-nv50 pageflip events happen before the actual vblank
period. Therefore that functionality got semi-disabled in

commit af4870e406126b7ac0ae7c7ce5751f25ebe60f28
Author: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de at gmail.com>

    drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv40: fix pageflip events via special case.

Unfortunately that hack got uprooted in

commit cc1ef118fc099295ae6aabbacc8af94d8d8885eb
Author: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>
Date:   Wed Aug 12 17:00:31 2015 +0200

    drm/irq: Make pipe unsigned and name consistent

Trigering a warning when trying to sample the vblank timestamp for a
non-existing pipe. There's a few ways to fix this:

- Open-code the old behaviour, which just enshrines this slight
  breakage of the userspace ABI.

- Revert Mario's commit and again inflict broken timestamps, again not
  pretty.

- Fix this for real by delaying the pageflip TS until the next vblank
  interrupt, thereby making it accurate.

This patch implements the third option. Since having a page flip
interrupt that happens when the pageflip gets armed and not when it
completes in the next vblank seems to be fairly common (older i915 hw
works very similarly) create a new helper to arm vblank events for
such drivers.

Note that due to lack of hw this is completely untested. But I think
it's the right way to fix this.

What happens when the page flip interrupt arrives during a vertical
blank period?  Presumably the userspace event will be deferred until the
next vertical blank period, but the flip might already take effect in
the current one.

Ye olde vblanke event? ;) (typo, same in the previous comment)

The function name in this comment doesn't match the name of the function
it describes.

[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau: Fix pre-nv50 pageflip events

Cc += Mario Kleiner, Mario, can you take a look whether this proposed
solution makes sense and fixes the issues you were seeing back when you
posted the patch in commit:

commit af4870e406126b7ac0ae7c7ce5751f25ebe60f28
Author: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de at gmail.com>
Date:   Tue May 13 00:42:08 2014 +0200

    drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv40: fix pageflip events via special case.

    Cards with nv04 display engine can't reliably use vblank
    counts and timestamps computed via drm_handle_vblank(), as
    the function gets invoked after sending the pageflip events.

    Fix this by defaulting to the old crtcid = -1 fallback path
    on <= NV-50 cards, and only using the precise path on NV-50
    and later.

Do you happen to still have the setup around where you saw this?

[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau: Fix pre-nv50 pageflip events

Hi,

i just sent out a (v2) of Daniels patch, with my review comments and 
reviewed-by for the code already applied to the code for convenience. 
Interspersed below in the patch the review comments for a few small bugs.

This and Daniels original patch is only compile tested. I still have 
that GeForce 7800 GTX, but unfortunately i don't have the original PC 
anymore for testing it. Today i tried to put the card as a 2nd non-boot 
card into a MacPro for testing, but the EFI based Mac apparently didn't 
like that old PC card that much, so testing was a no go. Bootup ended 
with some nouveau MMIO read and write faults and then lockup. Usually 
more recent NVidia PC cards do work in Macs under Linux with nouveau as 
non-boot gpus, but for some reason this one doesn't.

Anyway, after digging through my old e-mail conversation with Ben from a 
year ago, i think Daniel's patch should work and solve the problem quite 
elegantly:

iirc Ben explained to me that on pre-nv50, nouveau_flip_complete() 
(which calls nouveau_finish_page_flip()), is not triggered by an actual 
pageflip interrupt, but by a fifo software interrupt programmed to fire 
shortly before the vblank. On my test card it fired in the last scanline 
before vblank, probably at the end of active scanout. 
nouveau_flip_complete() would first call nouveau_finish_page_flip() to 
send the pageflip event, and then manually flip to the new framebuffer 
by calling  nv_set_crtc_base(). I think/assume nv_set_crtc_base() is not 
itself synchronized to vblank, so we should get the correct behaviour:

1. Shortly before start of vblank: fifo sw interrupt -> 
nouveau_flip_complete() -> nouveau_finish_page_flip() queues pageflip 
event for later delivery by vblank irq handler -> nv_set_crtc_base() 
flips to the new fb. Return from irq.

2. A few scanlines later, vblank irq fires -> drm_handle_vblank() 
updates vblank count and timestamps -> drm_handle_vblank_events() 
dispatches queued pageflip completion event from 1), now tagged with 
proper vblank count and timestamp of flip completion.

thanks,
-mario

-> Add this missing init:

Otherwise target sequence number for dispatch of the pageflip event by 
drm_handle_vblank_events() will be zero and we get in trouble for a

hang?

Need a drm_vblank_put() here in a else branch, so refcounting is

Hm yeah there's a tiny race if your update handler for the pageflip can
race with your vblank handler. That's impossible here since it's all
done
from the same hw irq hanlder, and since that is single-threaded there
shouldn't be a problem, as long as vblank handling are pageflip are
ordered correctly.

Might be worth a note in the kerneldoc though that this function isn't
perfectly foolproof.
