So, while I agree that it'd be slightly more readable as a diff if those
were two different commits I do have reasons against splitting.....

If we just need a quick fix to avoid PWRTRANS interrupts from kicking
in when we power-off the cores, I think we'd be better off dropping
GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] from the value we write to GPU_INT_MASK
at [re]initialization time, and then have a separate series that fixes
the problem more generically.

But that didn't work:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/d95259b8-10cf-4ded-866c-47cbd2a44f84@xxxxxxxxxx/

I meant, your 'ignore-core_mask' fix + the
'drop GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] in GPU_INT_MASK' one.

So,

...while this "full" solution worked:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/39e9514b-087c-42eb-8d0e-f75dc620e954@xxxxxxxxxx/

https://lore.kernel.org/all/5b24cc73-23aa-4837-abb9-b6d138b46426@xxxxxxxxxx/


...so this *is* a "quick fix" already... :-)

It's a half-baked solution for the missing irq-synchronization-on-suspend
issue IMHO. I understand why you want it all in one patch that can serve
as a fix for 123b431f8a5c ("drm/panfrost: Really power off GPU cores in
panfrost_gpu_power_off()"), which is why I'm suggesting to go for an
even simpler diff (see below), and then fully address the
irq-synhronization-on-suspend issue in a follow-up patchset.

We probably want a comment here:

...but if we do that, the next patch(es) will contain a partial revert of this
commit, putting back this to gpu_write(pfdev, GPU_INT_MASK, GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL)...

Why should we revert it? We're not processing the PWRTRANS interrupts
in the interrupt handler, those should never have been enabled in the
first place. The only reason we'd want to revert that change is if we
decide to do have interrupt-based waits in the poweron/off
implementation, which, as far as I'm aware, is not something we intend
to do any time soon.


You're right, yes. Okay, I'll push the new code soon.

Cheers!


Update: I was running some (rather fast) tests here because I ... felt like playing
with it, basically :-)

So, I had an issue with MediaTek platforms being unable to cut power to the GPU or
disable clocks aggressively... and after trying "this and that" I couldn't get it
working (in runtime suspend).

Long story short - after implementing `panfrost_{job,mmu,gpu}_suspend_irq()` (only
gpu irq, as you said, is a half solution), I can not only turn off clocks, but even
turn off GPU power supplies entirely, bringing the power consumption of the GPU
itself during *runtime* suspend to ... zero.

The result of this test makes me truly happy, even though complete powercut during
runtime suspend may not be feasible for other reasons (takes ~200000ns on AVG,
MIN ~160000ns, but the MAX is ~475000ns - and beware that I haven't run that for
long, I'd suspect to get up to 1-1.5ms as max time, so that's a big no).

This means that I will take a day or two and I'll push both the "simple" fix for
the Really-power-off and also some more commits to add the full irq sync.

Cheers!
Angelo


I'm not sure that it's worth changing this like that, then changing it back right
after :-\

Anyway, if anyone else agrees with doing it and then partially revert, I have no
issues going with this one instead; what I care about ultimately is resolving the
regression ASAP :-)

Cheers,
Angelo
