Introduce device wedged event, which will notify userspace of wedged
(hanged/unusable) state of the DRM device through a uevent. This is
useful especially in cases where the device is no longer operating as
expected even after a reset and has become unrecoverable from driver
context. Purpose of this implementation is to provide drivers a generic
way to recover with the help of userspace intervention without taking
any drastic measures in the driver.
A 'wedged' device is basically a dead device that needs attention.
The uevent is the notification that is sent to userspace along with a
hint about what could possibly be attempted to recover the device and
bring it back to usable state. Different drivers may have different
ideas of a 'wedged' device depending on their hardware implementation,
and hence the vendor agnostic nature of the event. It is up to the
drivers to decide when they see the need for recovery and how they
want to recover from the available methods.
Recovery
--------
Current implementation defines two recovery methods, out of which,
drivers can use any one, both or none. Method(s) of choice will be
sent in the uevent environment as ``WEDGED=<method1>[,<method2>]``
in order of less to more side-effects. If driver is unsure about
recovery or method is unknown (like soft/hard reboot, firmware
flashing, hardware replacement or any other procedure which can't
be attempted on the fly), ``WEDGED=none`` will be sent instead.
It is the responsibility of the driver to perform required cleanups
(like disabling system memory access or signalling dma_fences) and
prepare itself for the recovery before sending the event. Once the
event is sent, driver should block all IOCTLs with an error code.
This will signify the reason for wegeding which can be reported to
the application if needed.
Userspace consumers can parse this event and attempt recovery as per
below expectations.
=============== ==================================
Recovery method Consumer expectations
=============== ==================================
rebind unbind + rebind driver
bus-reset unbind + reset bus device + rebind
none admin/user policy
=============== ==================================
Example for rebind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Udev rule::
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ENV{WEDGED}=="rebind", DEVPATH=="*/drm/card[0-9]",
RUN+="/path/to/rebind.sh $env{DEVPATH}"
Recovery script::
#!/bin/sh
DEVPATH=$(readlink -f /sys/$1/device)
DEVICE=$(basename $DEVPATH)
DRIVER=$(readlink -f $DEVPATH/driver)
echo -n $DEVICE > $DRIVER/unbind
sleep 1
echo -n $DEVICE > $DRIVER/bind
Although scripts are simple enough for basic recovery, admin/users
can define customized policies around recovery action. For example if
the driver supports multiple recovery methods, consumers can opt for
the suitable one based on policy definition. Consumers can also take
additional steps like gathering telemetry information (devcoredump,
syslog), or have the device available for further debugging and data
collection before performing the recovery. This is useful especially
when the driver is unsure about recovery or method is unknown.
v4: s/drm_dev_wedged/drm_dev_wedged_event
Use drm_info() (Jani)
Kernel doc adjustment (Aravind)
v5: Send recovery method with uevent (Lina)
v6: Access wedge_recovery_opts[] using helper function (Jani)
Use snprintf() (Jani)
v7: Convert recovery helpers into regular functions (Andy, Jani)
Aesthetic adjustments (Andy)
Handle invalid method cases
v8: Allow sending multiple methods with uevent (Lucas, Michal)
static_assert() globally (Andy)
