[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: update ras sysfs feature info

Hi Hawking,

I don't want to divert from this important discussion, but would like clarification...

In the rocm-smi library, I previously had this interpretation of the values (I think someone had confirmed this):
none,   //!< No current errors
disabled   //!< ECC is disabled
parity     //!< ECC errors present, but type unknown
 single_correctable,     //!< Single correctable error
multi_correctable    //!< Multiple uncorrectable errors
poison     //!< Firmware detected error and isolated
                                 //!< page. Treat as uncorrectable.

It seems now we are just saying it's enabled/disabled, but no indication of whether there are errors or not. Is that right, or am I misunderstanding something?

Chris

Hi Hawking,

yeah, but this isn't sufficient to comply to the upstream rules.

See what we need to do is to remove the extra text and the per IP information. In other words something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ras.c
b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ras.c
index 1a4412e47810..c8c7f9655ffc 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ras.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ras.c
@@ -819,22 +819,7 @@ static ssize_t
amdgpu_ras_sysfs_features_read(struct device *dev,
         ssize_t s;
         struct ras_manager *obj;

-       s = scnprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "feature mask: 0x%x\n", 
con->features);
-
-       for (i = 0; i < ras_block_count; i++) {
-               head.block = i;
-
-               if (amdgpu_ras_is_feature_enabled(adev, &head)) {
-                       obj = amdgpu_ras_find_obj(adev, &head);
-                       s += scnprintf(&buf[s], PAGE_SIZE - s,
-                                       "%s: %s\n",
-                                       ras_block_str(i),
- ras_err_str(obj->head.type));
-               } else
-                       s += scnprintf(&buf[s], PAGE_SIZE - s,
-                                       "%s: disabled\n",
-                                       ras_block_str(i));
-       }
+       s = scnprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "0x%x\n", con->features);

         return s;
  }

And I'm not talking about some rule we could bend. This is an absolutely
*MUST* have for upstreaming.

Regards,
Christian.

As a result, any upper level apps/libs that read from this file will just get confusing information as well. The feature mask is already good enough for this node.

This has happened a few times now, where changes to the RAS sysfs files has broke the SMI CLI and/or SMI LIB. Can we please get a stable interface and sysfs format set up before publishing patches? This is creating a lot of extra work for developers with the SMI to constantly keep up with the changes being made to sysfs files. Thank you.
