[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: fix infinite loop at gen6_update_ring_freq

[Paulo Zanoni]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

If I boot my Broadwell machine to X on a system with Mesa Gallium
llvmpipe instead of i965, then kill X and try to run pm_pc8.c, when we
disable PC8 and call gen6_update_ring_freq(), we will get stuck on an
infinite loop because the frequencies are zero and the variables are
unsigned. This happens because we never ran any batch, so we did not
enable RC6, so the variables are zero. If I run gem_exec_nop before
running pm_pc8, everything works as expected because gem_exec_nop
makes RC6 be enabled.

This commit should prevent the infinite loop, which IMHO is already a
good reason to be merged, but it is not the proper fix to the "RC6 is
not being enabled" problem.
