Ok .. so are we playing now kernel an AMD Hardware roulette on each release ?

SME was like this in kernel 4.16.x here and all worked.

Also if you don't support SME at all now on that Hardware while worked before
please add proper error handling and proper dmesg messages
letting the user know.

radeon: xxxx : SME not supported on that Hardware anymore , please
disable SME...
radeon: xxxx: Update your GPU < or whatever >

How hard would be that ?

No one but developers , can guess from these error messges why his
hardware  suddenly  isn't working anymore by just updating the kernel.

Yes that works but is not the point.

Really you just can't break users setups like this.

If that is true, again please bisect which commit broke it.

All the reports I've seen before this indicated that at least amdgpu has 
never worked with SME (which BTW doesn't mean it's never going to work 
or that we don't want to support it, just that as far as we know it's 
currently not working).

At least in theory it should work when we use the coherent DMA allocator.

When that really worked before, so the most likely commit which broke 
this is:

I guess this could fit for Gabriel, but e.g.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/104437 says amdgpu was already broken with
SME in 4.15, if not 4.14 (I suspect there was simply no SME support
earlier).

I got strange performance issue with 4.15 and 4.16 .. but SME was ON
on that setup ( even before it hit mainline ) and never broke the GPU like this.

There is a 4.16.13 boot dmesg which has no such issue:

http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/crazy/radeon/dmesg-radeon-SME-ON-kernel-4.16.txt

With the setup as is booting 4.16.x works , while 4.17 trows the errors.

And what I totally missed is that Gabriel is using radeon and not amdgpu.

So Gabriel you need to revert this one for testing:

Well that is very interesting, you are the first one who reports that 
SME + GFX works in some way. So far we only got negative reports for that.

I can confirm reverting b468620f2a1dfdcfddfd6fa54367b8bcc1b51248
fixes that issue for me.

The GPU is working fine with SME enabled.

Now with working GPU :) I can also confirm performance is back to normal
without doing any other workarounds.

The only app still acting up a bit is Firefox , just minor frame drops,
but nothing to bad.  ( probably an Firefox bug too )

crhomium/chrome is fine .. even with 10 tabs open , each one playing
an video on youtube no glitches at all.

Desktop is also fine now,  could not find anything wrong.

any idea what could cause that? Basically this patch breaks radeon when 
SME is enabled.

As far as I analyzed it we now get an -ENOMEM from dma_alloc_attrs() in 
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc_dma.c when IOMMU is enabled.

Still need to figure out which parameters we want to use for the 
allocation, but I think it is only 4k or 8k.

Christian.

Re: Kernel and ADM hardware roulette ( was AMD graphics performance regression in 4.15 and later )

[Christoph Hellwig]

I think the prime issue is that dma_direct_alloc respects the dma
mask.  Which we don't need if actually using the iommu.  This would
be mostly harmless exept for the the SEV bit high in the address that
makes the checks fail.

For now I'd say revert this commit for 4.17/4.18-rc and I'll look into
addressing these issues properly.

Ok, reverted in my tree, and marked for stable (for 4.17). Thanks,

Is not this one , I've build an kernel with this reverted.

I'll do an bisect tonight or tomorrow.

Yes, to be precise that isn't the job of the GFX driver to care about 
such things.

It is a well known and documented limitation of SME that it is in 
general mostly incompatible with GFX (or compute) hardware, and it 
actually doesn't matter which hardware or driver you use.

In other words what happens is that as soon as you use GFX (or compute) 
SME gets disabled transparently.

The problem is that this happens only on the DMA slow path we just 
disabled because of the performance problems.

Going to propose to revert that or at least only use it when SME is 
disabled.

Christian.
