<pre>* Overview:
I decided today I would troubleshoot/source an error that has been plaguing my
dmesg:
[drm:btc_dpm_set_power_state [radeon]] *ERROR*
rv770_restrict_performance_levels_before_switch failed
Over all this bug may or may not be related to #91375. I dug into the DPM
setting and levels and was happy to find that switching from "performance" to
"battery" (and vice versa) did not reproduce this bug. What did reproduce the
bug was switching from "balanced" and "battery" (and vice versa).
Kernel version: 4.11.12
Linux Firmware version: 20170519
X.org server version: 1.19.3
Mesa version: 17.2.0_rc5
libdrm version: 2.4.82
Gnome version: 3.24
* Steps to Reproduce:
echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state
echo balanced > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state
* Actual Result:
- DPMS change level changes as expected.
- Dmesg:
[ 3302.814889] [drm:btc_dpm_set_power_state [radeon]] *ERROR*
rv770_restrict_performance_levels_before_switch failed
[ 3316.661933] [drm:btc_dpm_set_power_state [radeon]] *ERROR*
rv770_restrict_performance_levels_before_switch failed
* Expected result:
- DPMS change level changes as expected.
- No error messages in dmesg.
* Additional Info:
Also, not sure if this is related or not, when switching from "battery" to
"performance" there sometimes appears to be an initial clocking issue (which I
believe is related to #93753). Switching back and forth a few times seems to
clean it. Unsure the cause. Another note, upon further inspection of my DPMS
settings, I noticed the drastic differences between "balanced" and "battery"
`sclk`s. My understand (which could be faulty) is that `sclk` drives the
clocking for single displays, while `mclk` for multiple. My laptop rig has 2 DP
displays (3 if I could get it to drive the LVDS display with the 2 DPs, but
that is another issue for another bug another day)
