Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] media: imx: csi: Disable SMFC before disabling IDMA channel

Disable the SMFC before disabling the IDMA channel, instead of after,
in csi_idmac_unsetup().

This fixes a complete system hard lockup on the SabreAuto when streaming
from the ADV7180, by repeatedly sending a stream off immediately followed
by stream on:

while true; do v4l2-ctl -d4 --stream-mmap --stream-count=3; done

Eventually this either causes the system lockup or EOF timeouts at all
subsequent stream on, until a system reset.

The lockup occurs when disabling the IDMA channel at stream off. Stopping
the video data stream entering the IDMA channel before disabling the
channel itself appears to be a reliable fix for the hard lockup. That can
be done either by disabling the SMFC or the CSI before disabling the
channel. Disabling the SMFC before the channel is the easiest solution,
so do that.

I have not tested the v3 yet. I have planned to do it later this day for
a all night testing and report the result then.

It does fix the hang, but I only have a vague theory as to why. That by
disabling the DMA channel while its internal FIFO is getting filled is
causing the hang, maybe due to a simultaneous update of the channel's
internal FIFO write pointer and the channel disable bit. By disabling
the SMFC (or the CSI), writes to the channel's internal FIFO stop.

Sigh, you're right. Let me go back to disabling the CSI before the
channel, the CSI enable/disable is not refcounted (it doesn't need to be
since it is single use) so it doesn't have this problem.

Should we drop this patch or keep it (with a big comment)? By only
changing the disable order to "CSI then channel", the hang is reliably
fixed from my and Gael's testing, but my concern is that by not
disabling the SMFC before the channel, the SMFC could still empty its
FIFO to the channel's internal FIFO and still create a hang.

Well, as you said it will have no effect if both CSI's are streaming
with the SMFC, in which case the danger would still exist. Perhaps it
would be best to just drop this patch.

I have tested the patchset v4 (not that one), and it has passed my test.

Hm, if we can't guarantee the intended effect with this patch, and
stopping the CSI first helps reliably, it's indeed better to just do
that instead.

Gaël, could we get a Tested-by: for this as well?

Steve, do you have any theory why this helps? It's a bit weird to
disable the SMFC module while the DMA channel is still enabled. I think
this warrants a big comment, given that enable order is SMFC_EN before
IDMAC channel enable.

Also ipu_smfc_disable is refcounted, so if the other CSI is capturing
simultaneously, this change has no effect.

FWIW, I don't see any regressions though.

Philipp
