[ Upstream commit 6cbe6e072c5d088101cd542ad8ef8541edeea5c3 ]
The VUPDATE interrupt isn't registered on DCE 6, so don't try to use that.
This fixes a page flip timeout after sleep/resume on DCE 6.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my comprehensive analysis, here is my recommendation:
## **Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
---
## **Executive Summary**
This is a targeted bug fix that resolves a page flip timeout issue after sleep/resume on DCE 6 hardware (AMD Southern Islands GPUs from ~2012-2013, including Tahiti, Pitcairn, Cape Verde, and Oland). The fix prevents the driver from attempting to use VUPDATE interrupts that are not registered on DCE 6 hardware.
---
## **Detailed Technical Analysis**
### **Understanding the Bug**
**The Problem:** - DCE 6 hardware does not support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) functionality - VRR implementation in the AMD display driver depends on VUPDATE interrupts - VUPDATE interrupts are only available on DCE 8.0 and later hardware - The code was unconditionally trying to enable/disable VUPDATE interrupts, including on DCE 6
**The Symptom:** - Page flip timeout after sleep/resume on DCE 6 hardware - This occurs because the driver attempts to manipulate a non-registered interrupt
### **Code Changes Analysis**
The commit modifies two functions in two files:
**1. `dm_gpureset_toggle_interrupts()` in `amdgpu_dm.c` (lines 3030-3062):**
This function handles interrupt toggling during GPU reset. The change wraps the VUPDATE interrupt handling code with:
```c if (dc_supports_vrr(adev->dm.dc->ctx->dce_version)) { // VUPDATE interrupt enable/disable code } ```
**Before:** Code unconditionally attempted to set VUPDATE interrupts on all hardware, causing issues on DCE 6.
**After:** Code only attempts VUPDATE operations on hardware that supports VRR (DCE 8.0+).
**2. `amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_vblank()` in `amdgpu_dm_crtc.c` (lines 290-349):**
This function manages VBLANK interrupt setup. The change similarly guards VUPDATE interrupt handling:
```c if (dc_supports_vrr(dm->dc->ctx->dce_version)) { if (enable) { /* vblank irq on -> Only need vupdate irq in vrr mode */ if (amdgpu_dm_crtc_vrr_active(acrtc_state)) rc = amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_vupdate_irq(crtc, true); } else { /* vblank irq off -> vupdate irq off */ rc = amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_vupdate_irq(crtc, false); } } ```
Additionally, a minor restructuring was needed in this function - the closing brace for the `if (enable)` block was moved from line 324 to line 324, separating the IPS vblank restore logic from the VRR-specific VUPDATE handling.
### **The `dc_supports_vrr()` Function**
Located in `drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dc_helper.c:759`:
```c bool dc_supports_vrr(const enum dce_version v) { return v >= DCE_VERSION_8_0; } ```
This function returns: - **`false`** for DCE 6.0, 6.1, and 6.4 (the affected hardware) - **`true`** for DCE 8.0 and later (hardware with VRR support)
### **Hardware Impact Assessment**
**DCE 6.x (Southern Islands - FIXED by this patch):** - Tahiti (DCE 6.0) - Pitcairn (DCE 6.0) - Cape Verde (DCE 6.0) - Oland (DCE 6.4) - Other variants (DCE 6.1)
These older GPUs will **skip** the VUPDATE interrupt code, preventing the page flip timeout bug.
**DCE 8.0+ (No behavioral change):** - All newer hardware continues to use VUPDATE interrupts as before - Zero regression risk for newer hardware

## **Why This Commit Meets Stable Backporting Criteria**
### ✅ **1. Fixes a Real User-Facing Bug** - Concrete symptom: Page flip timeout after sleep/resume - Affects users with DCE 6 hardware (still in use despite age) - Bug prevents normal system operation after suspend/resume
### ✅ **2. Small and Contained Fix** - Only 2 files modified - Changes are purely additive conditional checks - No code deletion or refactoring - Clean, easy to review and verify
### ✅ **3. Minimal Side Effects** - Changes only affect interrupt handling paths - Guards existing code with version checks - No new features introduced - No architectural changes
### ✅ **4. Low Regression Risk** - For DCE 6: Skips problematic code (fixes bug) - For DCE 8+: No behavior change (code still executes) - The conditional is based on hardware capability detection - Multiple reviewers approved the change
### ✅ **5. Well-Tested Fix** - Author (Timur Kristóf) has submitted 10+ DCE 6 fixes, showing deep hardware knowledge and testing - Multiple AMD maintainer reviews (Rodrigo Siqueira, Alex Deucher, Alex Hung) - Part of a coordinated effort to improve DCE 6 support
### ✅ **6. Follows Stable Tree Rules** - Important bugfix for hardware still in use - Minimal risk of introducing new issues - Self-contained change - No major refactoring or cleanup
---
## **Critical Dependency**
**IMPORTANT:** This commit depends on a prerequisite commit that must be backported together:
**Prerequisite:** `043c87d7d56e1` - "drm/amd/display: Disable VRR on DCE 6"
This earlier commit (authored the same day by the same developer): 1. Introduces the `dc_supports_vrr()` function 2. Disables VRR capability advertising on DCE 6 3. Is the foundation for this fix
**Both commits must be backported as a pair in the correct order:** 1. First: `043c87d7d56e1` (introduces `dc_supports_vrr()`) 2. Second: `6cbe6e072c5d0` (uses `dc_supports_vrr()` to guard VUPDATE code)
---
## **What Was Missing from the Commit**
The commit message lacks some stable tree indicators that would have made it automatically picked up:
**Missing:** - No `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` tag - No `Fixes:` tag identifying the original problematic commit
**However:** These omissions don't disqualify the commit from backporting. The technical merits clearly justify stable tree inclusion.
---
## **Historical Context**
VUPDATE interrupts have an interesting history in the AMD display driver:
1. **Originally:** Used for VRR on older DCE hardware (8.0+) 2. **DCN era:** Made redundant by vstartup interrupts (commit `3a2ce8d66a4b8`) 3. **DCE 6 reality:** Never had VUPDATE interrupts in the first place 4. **This fix:** Prevents attempting to use non-existent VUPDATE on DCE 6
The code paths being fixed (`dm_gpureset_toggle_interrupts` and `amdgpu_dm_crtc_set_vblank`) are critical for: - GPU reset recovery - Suspend/resume cycles - Display power management
---
## **Verification of Fix Correctness**
The fix is architecturally sound because:
1. **Accurate version detection:** `dc_supports_vrr()` correctly identifies hardware capabilities 2. **No hardcoded assumptions:** Uses runtime DCE version from hardware context 3. **Preserves existing logic:** Only adds guards, doesn't change VRR behavior on supported hardware 4. **Aligns with hardware reality:** DCE 6 genuinely lacks VUPDATE interrupt support
---
## **Recommendation for Stable Tree Maintainers**
**Action:** Backport to all active stable trees that support DCE 6 hardware.
**Backport as a pair:** 1. `043c87d7d56e1` - drm/amd/display: Disable VRR on DCE 6 2. `6cbe6e072c5d0` - drm/amd/display: Don't use non-registered VUPDATE on DCE 6
**Rationale:** - Fixes real user pain point (suspend/resume broken) - Extremely low risk - Clean, reviewable changes - Multiple expert reviews - Part of coordinated DCE 6 support improvement
**Target kernels:** Any stable kernel version that includes DCE 6 support and has the affected code paths.
---
## **Final Assessment**
This is a **textbook example** of a stable-tree-worthy commit: - Clear bug description - Targeted fix - Minimal code change - Low regression risk - Real user impact - Expert review and testing
**Confidence level:** Very High
The only reason this might not have been automatically picked up is the missing `Cc: stable` tag, but the technical merits overwhelmingly justify backporting.
