There is no guarantee that we will not receive an IRQ_HPD until we are finished with processing of an earlier HPD message or an IRQ_HPD message. For example - when you run the protocol compliance, when we get a HPD from the sink, we are expected to start reading DPCD, EDID and proceed with link training. As soon as link training is finished (which is marked by a specific DPCD register write), the sink is going to issue an IRQ_HPD.

Case in point, this patch, which is trying to selectively search through the "event queue" and then remove the event that is no longer relevant because the display is being turned off either by userspace or because HPD has gone away. If we got rid of the queue and kthread and processed irqs in a threaded irq handler I suspect the code would be simpler and not have to search through an event queue when we disable the display. Instead while disabling the display we would make sure that the irq thread isn't running anymore with synchronize_irq() or even disable the irq entirely, but really it would be better to just disable the irq in the hardware with a register write to some irq mask register. This pushes more of the logic for HPD and connect/disconnect into the hardware and avoids reimplementing that in software: searching through the queue, checking for duplicate events, etc.

Let me explain below, we have 3 transactions defined as below, plugin transaction: irq handle do host dp ctrl initialization and link training. If sink_count = 0 or link train failed, then transaction ended. otherwise send display up uevent to frame work and wait for frame work thread to do mode set, start pixel clock and start video to end transaction. unplugged transaction: irq handle send display off uevent to frame work and wait for frame work to disable pixel clock ,tear down main link and dp ctrl host de initialization. irq_hpd transaction: This only happen after plugin transaction and before unplug transaction. irq handle read panel dpcd register and perform requesting action. Action including perform dp compliant phy/link testing. since dongle can be plugged/unplugged at ant time, three conditions have to be met to avoid race condition, 1) no irq lost 2) irq happen timing order enforced at execution 3) no irq handle done in the middle transaction for example we do not want to see plugin --> unplug --> plugin --> unplug become plugin --> plugin--> unplug The purpose of this patch is to not handle pending irq_hpd after either dongle or monitor had been unplugged until next plug in.

Why do we need to wait for userspace to start video?

A plug irq due to HPD could still notify userspace that the display is connected but when an IRQ_HPD comes in we process it in the irq thread instead of trying to figure out what sort of action is necessary to quickly fork it off to a kthread to process later. The problem seems to be that this quick forking off of the real IRQ_HPD processing is letting the event come in, and then an unplug to come in after that, and then a plug in to come in after that, leading to the event queue getting full of events that are no longer relevant but still need to be processed. If this used a workqueue instead of an open-coded one, I'd say we should cancel any work items on the queue if an unplug irq came in. That way we would make sure that we're not trying to do anything with the link when it isn't present anymore. But even then it doesn't make much sense. Userspace could be heavily delayed after the plug in irq, when HPD is asserted, and not display anything. The user could physically unplug and plug during that time so we really need to not wait at all or do anything besides note the state of the HPD when this happens. The IRQ_HPD irq is different. I don't think we care to keep getting them if we're not done processing the previous irq. I view it as basically an "edge" irq that we see, process, and then if another one comes in during the processing time we ignore it. There's only so much we can do, hence the suggestion to use a threaded irq. This is why IRQ_HPD is yanking the HPD line down to get the attention of the source, but HPD high and HPD low for an extended period of time means the cable has been plugged or unplugged. We really do care if the line goes low for a long time, but if it only temporarily goes low for an IRQ_HPD then we either saw it or we didn't have time to process it yet. It's like a person at your door ringing the doorbell. They're there (HPD high), and they're ringing the doorbell over and over (IRQ_HPD) and eventually they go away when you don't answer (HPD low). We don't have to keep track of every single doorbell/IRQ_HPD event because it's mostly a ping from the sink telling us we need to go do something, i.e. a transitory event. The IRQ_HPD should always work once HPD is there, but once HPD is gone we should mask it and ignore that irq until we see an HPD high again.

The problem is unplug happen after signal user space. if unplug happen before user space start mode set and video, then it can just do nothing and return. but if unplugged happen at the middle of user space doing mode set and start video? remember we had run into problem system show in connect state when dongle unplugged, vice versa. >> >> unplugged transaction: irq handle send display off uevent to frame >> work and wait for frame work to disable pixel clock ,tear down main >> link and dp ctrl host de initialization. > > What do we do if userspace is slow and doesn't disable the display > before the cable is physically plugged in again? > plugin is not handle (re enter back into event q) until unplugged handle completed. >> >> irq_hpd transaction: This only happen after plugin transaction and >> before unplug transaction. irq handle read panel dpcd register and >> perform requesting action.

Also if door bell ring 3 times and left an package at door then deliver left, you saw deliver left form window then you still need to answer to find out there is package left at door. If you ignore doorbell, then you will missed the package. I believe both thread_irq and event q works. But I think event q give us more finer controller. We are trying to fix an extreme case which generate un expected number of irq_hpd at an unexpected timing. I believe other dp driver (not Qcom) will also failed on this particular case.

I think you're saying that IRQ_HPD can come in after HPD goes high and we finish link training? That sounds like we should enable IRQ_HPD in the hardware once we finish link training, instead of having it enabled all the time. Then we can finish the threaded irq handler and the irq should be pending again once IRQ_HPD is sent over. Is there ever a need to be processing some IRQ_HPD and then get another IRQ_HPD while processing the first one? > >> > > >> > Given that the irq comes in and is then forked off to processing at a > >> > later time implies that IRQ_HPD can come in at practically anytime. > >> > Case > >> > in point, this patch, which is trying to selectively search through the > >> > "event queue" and then remove the event that is no longer relevant > >> > because the display is being turned off either by userspace or because > >> > HPD has gone away.

I expect the link training to fail, maybe slowly, but userspace should still be notified that the state has changed to disconnected when the irq comes in, around the same time that the cable is physically disconnected. > > remember we had run into problem system show in connect state when > dongle unplugged, vice versa. > These problems are still happening as far as I can tell.

Yes workqueues are basically functions you run on a kthread with various ways to either make sure that the work has finished processing or to try to cancel it out so that it either doesn't run at all because the kthread hasn't picked it up or that it runs to completion before continuing. The event queue should be replaced with a workqueue design, but even better would be to use a threaded irq if possible so that hardware can't raise more irqs while one is being handled. > > > But even then it doesn't make much sense.

Yes I'm saying that we should be able to use the hardware to coalesce multiple IRQ_HPDs so that we don't unmask the IRQ_HPD until a connect irq tells us a cable is connected, and then we mask IRQ_HPD when a disconnect irq happens, and ignore extra IRQ_HPDs by processing the IRQ_HPD in a threaded irq handler. Maybe this can't work because the same hardware irq is used for the HPD high/low and IRQ_HPD? If that's true, we should be able to keep the IRQ_HPD masked until the event is processed by calling dp_catalog_hpd_config_intr() to disable DP_DP_IRQ_HPD_INT_MASK when we see it in the irq handler and only enable the irq again once we've processed it, which I guess would be the end of dp_irq_hpd_handle()? > I do not think we can ignore irq_hpd but combine multiple irq_hpd into > one and handle it. > > > > This is why IRQ_HPD is yanking the HPD line down to get the attention > > of > > the source, but HPD high and HPD low for an extended period of time > > means the cable has been plugged or unplugged.

Stop going to the door to look for anything.

The existing code has major issue which is handle irq_hpd with sink_count = 0 same way as handle of dongle unplugged. I think this cause external dp display failed to work and cause crash at suspend/resume test case. I will drop this patch. I am working on handle irq_hpd with sink_count = 0 as asymmetric as opposite to irq_hpd with sink_count = 1. This means irq_hdp sink_count = 0 handle only tear down the main link but keep phy/aux intact.
