Currently intel_gt_reset() kills the GuC and then resets requested engines. This is problematic because there is a dedicated CSB FIFO which only GuC can access and if that FIFO fills up, the hardware will block on the next context switch until there is space that means the system is effectively hung. If an engine is reset whilst actively executing a context, a CSB entry will be sent to say that the context has gone idle. Thus if reset happens on a very busy system then killing GuC before killing the engines will lead to deadlock because of filled up CSB FIFO. To address this issue, the GuC should be killed only after resetting the requested engines and before calling intel_gt_init_hw(). v2: Improve commit message(John) Cc: John Harrison <john.c.harrison@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Nirmoy Das <nirmoy.das@intel.com> Reviewed-by: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Shyti <andi.shyti@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240422201951.633-2-nirmoy.das@intel.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
