Re: [PATCH 4/4] drm/amdgpu: resize VRAM BAR for CPU access

From: Christian KÃnig

- Are we going to support resizing BAR when kernel
modesetting is not enabled and we are running in console
under VBIOS control (VESA/VGA)?
No, initial I've tried to resize the PCI BAR during probing without the help of the driver at all. But the VESA/EFI/VBIOS don't seem to be able to handle addresses above 4GB for some reason.

So the approach is to let the driver kick the VESA/EFI drivers out and then resize when we know that nobody is accessing the BAR.

That's the only approach I've found without either blacklisting VESA/EFI drivers or crashing the system during the resize.

- Should we restore PCI configuration if amdgpu
will be unloaded?
Yeah, thought about the as well. I'm just not sure how to do it.

There is a lot of stuff we need to save and reset when the driver unloads for not much gain.

- In function amdgpu_resize_bar0():
If resizing for "max" size failed should we try other
sizes? What do you think?
Probably not worth it. If we get the BAR moved to a 64bit address we should have enough address space in almost all cases, so setting it to the maximum should succeed.

But I think we could add another parameter to allow limiting the resized size for all corner cases and for testing.

Regards,
Christian.

Yes, exactly that.
(I'm not familiar with PCI too much.)
Is there any restrict for PCI device?
I'm concerning if any PCI couldn't support it on some motherboard.
It depends on the PCI root bridge. This patch set only implements support for
AMD root bridges. Intel and other vendors would need similar code.

Carizzo is an APU and resizing BARs isn't needed nor supported there.
The CPU can access the full stolen VRAM directly on that hardware.

As far as I know ASICs with support for this are Tonga, Fiji and all Polaris
variants.

Is it possible on Carrizo asics? Or only supports on newer asics?

Try to resize BAR0 to let CPU access all of VRAM.
