Hi guys
According to Christian’s found, reading this register would make vm hub failed
to finish the vm flush request , e.g.: sdma is doing vm flush which first write
data to vm_invalidat_req and read result from vm_invalidate_ack, but found
driver will forever failed to get the correct value from vm_invalidate_ack if
the meantime BIF is reading this CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE register.
Now SR-IOV world switch also may get such similar trouble, see below
save_restore_list ( during world_switch, RLCV will save current VF’s register
according to this list and restore all those registers when loading back this
VF)
uint32 register_restore[] = {
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmPA_SC_FIFO_SIZE), /* SC */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE), /* SC SC PER_SE */
0x00000000,
(uint32)((0x3400 << 18) | mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE), /* SC SC PER_SE */
0x00000000,
(uint32)((0x3800 << 18) | mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE), /* SC SC PER_SE */
0x00000000,
(uint32)((0x3c00 << 18) | mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE), /* SC SC PER_SE */
0x00000000,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_VTX_VECT_EJECT_REG),
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_DMA_DATA_FIFO_DEPTH), /* IA WD */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_DMA_REQ_FIFO_DEPTH), /* WD */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_DRAW_INIT_FIFO_DEPTH), /* WD */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_CACHE_INVALIDATION), /* IA */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_RESET_DEBUG), /* WD */
0x00000001,
(uint32)((0x3000 << 18) | mmVGT_FIFO_DEPTHS),
I will do some test against this CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE register, see if vm
flush failure issue could be avoided by removing those four register from SR
list
Thanks

Right. We ran into issues with reading back that register at runtime when UMDs
queried it when other stuff was in flight, so we just read it once at startup
and cache the results. Now when UMDs request it, we return the cached value.

Subject: Re: deprecated register issues
Hi David,
well I just figured that this is a misunderstanding.
Accessing this register and some other deprecated registers can cause problem
when invalidating VMHUBs.
This register itself isn't deprecated, the wording in a patch fixing things is
just a bit unclear.
Question is is that register still accessed regularly or is it value cached
after startup?
Regards,
Christian.

We requires base driver to provide the mask of disabled RB.
This is why kernel read the CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE to collect the harvest
configuration.
Where did you get to know that the register is deprecated?
I think it should still be there.
Best Regards,
David

Hi David
Do you know if GC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE is still exist for gfx9/vega10 ?
We found CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE was deprecated but looks it is still in use in
kmd, so
I want to check with you both of above registers
Thanks

Hi Monk,
I honestly don't have the slightest idea why we are still accessing
CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE. Maybe it still contains some useful values?
Key point was that we needed to stop accessing it all the time to avoid
triggering problems.

Christian.

Hi Christian
I remember you and AlexD mentioned that a handful registers are deprecated for
greenland (gfx9)
e.g. CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE
do you know why we still have this routine ?
static u32
gfx_v9_0_get_rb_active_bitmap(struct amdgpu_device *adev)
{
u32 data, mask;
data = RREG32_SOC15(GC,
0, mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE);
data |= RREG32_SOC15(GC,
0, mmGC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE);
data &= CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE__BACKEND_DISABLE_MASK;
data >>= GC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE__BACKEND_DISABLE__SHIFT;
mask = amdgpu_gfx_create_bitmask(adev->gfx.config.max_backends_per_se /
adev->gfx.config.max_sh_per_se);
return (~data) & mask;
}
see that it still read CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE
thanks
