Dear Alex:
>Is the issue reproducible with the same board in bare metal on x86?Or does it only happen with passthrough on ARM?
Unfortunately, my current environment is not convenient to test this GPU board on x86 platform.
but I can tell you the problem still occurs on ARM without passthrough to virtual machine.
In addition,at end of 2020,my colleagues also found similar problems on MIPS platforms with Graphics chips of Radeon R7 340.
So,I may think it can happen to no matter based on x86 ,ARM or mips.
I hope the above information is helpful to you，and I also think it will be better for user if can root cause this issue.
Best regards.

Is the issue reproducible with the same board in bare metal on x86? Or does it only happen with passthrough on ARM? Looking through the archives, the SI patch I made was for an x86 laptop. It would be nice to root cause this, but there weren't any gfx8 boards with more than 64G of vram, so I think it's safe. That said, if you see similar issues with newer gfx IPs then we have an issue since the upper bit will be meaningful, so it would be nice to root cause this.AlexOn Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 4:36 AM 周宗敏 <zhouzongmin@kylinos.cn> wrote:Hi Christian,
I'm testing for GPU passthrough feature, so I pass through this GPU to virtual machine to use. It based on arm64 system.
As far as i know, Alex had dealt with a similar problems on dri/radeon/si.c . Maybe they have a same reason to cause it?
the history commit message is below:
Thanks very much.

Hi Zongmin,
that strongly sounds like the ASIC is not correctly initialized when trying to read the register.
What board and environment are you using this GPU with? Is that a normal x86 system?
Regards,
Christian.

the problematic boards that I have tested is [AMD/ATI] Lexa PRO [Radeon RX 550/550X] ; and the vbios version : 113-RXF9310-C09-BT
When an exception occurs I can see the following changes in the values of vram size get from RREG32(mmCONFIG_MEMSIZE) ,
it seems to have garbage in the upper 16 bits
and then I can also see some dmesg like below:
when vram size register have garbage,we may see error message like below:
amdgpu 0000:09:00.0: VRAM: 4286582784M 0x000000F400000000 - 0x000FF8F4FFFFFFFF (4286582784M used)
the correct message should like below:
amdgpu 0000:09:00.0: VRAM: 4096M 0x000000F400000000 - 0x000000F4FFFFFFFF (4096M used)
if you have any problems,please send me mail.
thanks very much.

Can you provide some examples of problematic boards and possibly a
vbios image from the problematic board? What values are you seeing?
It would be nice to see what the boards are reporting and whether the
lower 16 bits are actually correct or if it is some other issue. This
register is undefined until the asic has been initialized. The vbios
programs it as part of it's asic init sequence (either via vesa/gop or
the OS driver).
