commit e1d09dc0ccc6c91e3916476f636edb76da1f65bb upstream.
This fixes a regression introduced in Linux 4.4.
This is a port of the same fix for radeon-kms in the
patch "drm/radeon: Don't hang in radeon_flip_work_func
on disabled crtc. (v2)"
Limit the amount of time amdgpu_flip_work_func can
delay programming a page flip, by both limiting the
maximum amount of time per wait cycle and the maximum
number of wait cycles. Continue the flip if the limit
is exceeded, even if that may result in a visual or
timing glitch.
This is to prevent a hang of page flips, as reported
in fdo bug #93746: Disconnecting a DisplayPort display
in parallel to a kms pageflip getting queued can cause
the following hang of page flips and thereby an unusable
desktop:
1. kms pageflip ioctl() queues pageflip -> queues execution
of amdgpu_flip_work_func.
2. Hotunplug of display causes the driver to DPMS OFF
the unplugged display. Display engine shuts down,
scanout no longer moves, but stays at its resting
position at start line of vblank.
3. amdgpu_flip_work_func executes while crtc is off, and
due to the non-moving scanout position, the new flip
delay code introduced into Linux 4.4 by
commit 8e36f9d33c ("drm/amdgpu: Fixup hw vblank counter/ts..")
enters an infinite wait loop.
4. After reconnecting the display, the pageflip continues
to hang in 3. and the display doesn't update its view
of the desktop.
This patch fixes the Linux 4.4 regression from fdo bug #93746
