[PATCH 3/3] drm/amdgpu: Use delayed work to collect RAS error counters

Hi Luben,

What I meant by event based is a thread waiting on wait queue for events, not a periodic polling as you had in the original patch. It still fetches the cached data on IOCTL but also triggers an event to poll for new errors. Similarly, a periodic error handler running to handle threshold errors also could trigger event. Basically, error data fetch is centralized to the thread.

It's just a different approach, don't know if that will make things more complex.

Thanks,
Lijo

That's exactly the trigger which evokes the error count procedure. The difference is that on that IOCTL,
we return in O(1), the cached values and then trigger the counting procedure in a delayed work item,
since it takes  O(n^3) and we cannot do it when the IOCTL is being processed as that negatively
affects the user experience, and the overall agility of the system.

This is the closest implementation to what was had before when the count was trigger at the IOCTL time,
and the IOCTL blocked until the count was completed.

Acting on exceeding a certain threshold is fine, since we're not competing against the delta
of the excessive amount of errors, just so long as it does exceed. That is, so long as it exceeds,
do something, we don't really care if it exceeds by delta or 10*delta.

But what is important, is the _time_ frequency of the delayed work, AMDGPU_RAS_COUNTE_DELAY_MS,
in my v2 of this patch. When set to 0, i.e. count as soon as possible, we get about 22% duty cycle of
the CPU just doing that, all the time, as it seems this IOCTL is being called constantly, and thus
the counting takes place all the time, continuously. And this isn't good for the system's performance
and power management.

When set to 3 seconds, we get a normal (expected) system behaviour in Vega20 sever boards.

> IMO, I'm more aligned to Luben's original approach of having something waiting in the background - instead of a periodic timer based trigger, it could be an event based trigger.  Event may be an ioctl, error handler timer ticks or something else.

Well, my original idea broke power management (PM), since it ran continuously
regardless of PM and whether we indeed need the count.

Now, when you say "Event may be an ioctl"--this is exactly what,

1) was had before, interlocked, and it made the system unusable to a GUI user, and
2) is what we have in this patch, but we process the count asynchronously, while
    we return the O(1) count instantly.

The advantage of 2) over my original approach, is that the count is triggered only
on IOCTL call, albeit delayed so that we can return in O(1) the cached value. Thus,
if no QUERY2 IOCTL is received, then we don't count the errors, as we don't schedule
the delayed work.

Regards,
Luben
