[PATCH v1 0/2] Free the writeback_job when it with an empty fb

[PATCH v1 0/2] Free the writeback_job when it with an empty fb

[Lowry Li (Arm Technology China)]

Hi,

This serie aims at adding the check and free the writeback_job when it
with an empty fb in drm_atomic_connector_check().

Also did some refine in drm_writeback_signal_completion() to clear the
fence pointer when writeback job signaled.

This patchset is based at the drm-misc-fixes branch.

[PATCH v1 1/2] drm: Free the writeback_job when it with an empty fb

[Lowry Li (Arm Technology China)]

From: "Lowry Li (Arm Technology China)" <Lowry.Li@arm.com>

Adds the check if the writeback_job with an empty fb, then it should
be freed in atomic_check phase.

With this change, the driver users will not check empty fb case any more.
So refined accordingly.

[PATCH v1 2/2] drm: Clear the fence pointer when writeback job signaled

[Lowry Li (Arm Technology China)]

During it signals the completion of a writeback job, after releasing
the out_fence, we'd clear the pointer.

Check if fence left over in drm_writeback_cleanup_job(), release it.

I don't get the point of this change. Why not just add job->out_fence = NULL
where *Here* is?

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to signal the fence with an error
here, if it's not already signaled. Otherwise, if there's someone
waiting (which there shouldn't be), they're going to be waiting a very
long time :-)

Thanks,

OK, now it makes sense. May I suggest you add that to the commit message?

If anyone else has a reference on the fence, then IMO it absolutely is
an error to reach this point without the fence being signaled -
because it means that the fence will never be signaled.

I don't think the API gives you a way to check if this is the last
reference, so it's safest to just make sure the fence is signalled
before dropping the reference.

It just feels wrong to me to have the possibility of a dangling fence
which is never going to get signalled; and it's an easy defensive step
to make sure it can never happen.

I know it _shouldn't_ happen, but we often put in handling for cases
which shouldn't happen, because they frequently do happen :-)

It's not only userspace that can wait on fences (and in fact this
fence will never even reach userspace if the commit fails), the driver
may have taken a copy to use for "something".

We're not as paranoid with the vblank fences either, so not sure why
we need to be this paranoid with writeback fences. If your driver
grabs anything from the atomic state in ->atomic_check it's buggy
anyway.

If you want to fix this properly I think we need to move the call to
prepare_signalling() in between atomic_check and atomic_commit. Then I
think it makes sense to also force-complete the fence on error ...

I forgot to add: you can check this by looking at the fence reference
count. A WARN_ON if that's more than 1 on cleanup (but also for the
out fences) could be a nice addition.

Well, fair enough. I'm struggling with "that's too paranoid" vs "fix
it properly" though? Is it a "problem" worth fixing or not?

It seems natural to me to do the fence cleanup in the cleanup function
for the object which owns the fence.

Do we really want to be looking at the fence internals directly like
that?

Maybe we can add a wb_fence canceling into complete_signaling() for the
atomic_check failed cleanup like the crtc->out_fence.

Then if in this place we still can got a fence here, that must be a
error we signal and WARN it

Wrap it up in a helper like dma_fence_release_private or whatever, which
combines the check and (hopefully final) _put(). Might need a better name.

Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] drm: Clear the fence pointer when writeback job signaled

[Brian Starkey]

Hi Lowry,

Based on Daniel's input, this patch looks fine:

Reviewed-by: Brian Starkey <brian.starkey@arm.com>

I think there's some opportunity for improvement around
prepare_signaling/complete_signaling, but that can be treated as
separate from fixing this bug.

Thanks,
-Brian
