Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ASoC: SOF: Intel: Remove deferred probe for SOF

This was only used to allow modprobing i915, by converting to the
-EPROBE_DEFER mechanism, it can be completely removed, and is in
fact counterproductive since -EPROBE_DEFER otherwise won't be
handled correctly.

Hi,

thank you Maarten for doing the series! I think a lot of people will be
happy to get rid of the 60sec timeout.

I kicked off a CI run SOF public infra for the whole series at
https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/pull/4478
Some results still in progress but so far so good.

Some concerns inline:

We actually have a request_module() for the regular HDA codec drivers as
well (sof_probe_continue() -> snd_sof_probe() -> hda_dsp_probe() ->
hda_init_caps() -> hda_codec_probe_bus(). But right, this is not
necessarily a problem on its own, so it looks we indeed can drop the work
queue. Nice!

My only bigger concern is corner cases where the display PCI device is on
the bus and visible to kernel, but for some reason there is no working
driver in the system or it is disabled.

With this patch, not having a workign display driver means that there is
also no audio in the system as the SOF driver will never get probed.

In current mainline, one will get the 60sec timeout warning and then
audio driver will proceed to probe and you'll have audio support (minus
HDMI/DP).

This is mostly an issue with very new hardware (e.g. hw is still
behind force_probe flag in xe/i915 driver), but we've had some odd
cases with e.g. systems with both Intel IGFX and other vendors' DGPU.
Audio drivers see the Intel VGA controller in system and will
call snd_hdac_i915_init(), but the audio component bind will never
succeed if the the Intel IGFX is not in actual use.

Will need a bit of time to think about possible scenarios. Possibly this
is not an issue outside early development systems. In theory if IGFX is
disabled in BIOS, and not visible to OS, we are good, and if it's visible,
the i915/xe driver should be loaded, so we are good again.

Br, Kai

Yeah, that was a concern in the past, too. e.g. when you pass
"nomodeset" boot option, the driver will become unusable, even if the
bus is used generically for both analog and HDMI codecs.

The 60 seconds timeout is a thing "better than complete disablement",
so it's not ideal, either. Maybe we can add something like the
following:

- Check when the deferred probe takes too long, and warn it
- Provide some runtime option to disable the component binding, so
that user can work around it if needed


thanks,

Yes, probably it's the easiest option and sufficient.

Hey,

Patch below, can be applied immediately iresspective of the other patches.

---->8----------

Selecting CONFIG_DRM selects CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET, which exports
video_firmware_drivers_only(). This can be used as a first approximation
on whether i915 will be available. It's safe to use as this is only
built when CONFIG_SND_HDA_I915 is selected by CONFIG_I915.

It's not completely fool proof, as you can boot with "nomodeset
i915.modeset=1" to make i915 load regardless, or use
"i915.force_probe=!*" to never load i915, but the common case of booting
with nomodeset to disable all GPU drivers this will work as intended.

Please don't bury new patches in the middle of mails, it just makes it
hard to apply the patch since tooling doesn't understand what's going
on.

Please don't send new patches in reply to old patches or serieses, this
makes it harder for both people and tools to understand what is going
on - it can bury things in mailboxes and make it difficult to keep track
of what current patches are, both for the new patches and the old ones.

The check of video_firmware_drivers_only() may help a bit, but I
believe we still need an option to override the behavior, from the
same reason as why i915.modeset option behaves so. In general,
nomodeset is for a debugging purpose, and without an option, you'll
have no way to re-enable the HD-audio even if you could reload the
graphics driver.


thanks,

Takashi

in longer term, we have ongoing work in SOF to allow exposing multiple
cards (e.g. to have a separate card for HDMI/DP PCM devices), and we
are continuously working at improving the data we get from ACPI to
have less guesswork in the driver. But this really doesn't help in the
shortterm and/or cover all scenarios.

So for now, this is legacy we just need to deal with. OTOH, I do agree
that...

The modprobing of i915 from the audio driver, has always felt a bit
out-of-place, and with the xe driver, this simply won't scale anymore.

The test results so far look good and this patchset works ok even if some
of the more complex multi-GPU configurations we have, so I think with a
module option to snd_hdac_i915, I'd be ready to go with this.

I will send a new version in a bit, with all comments addressed.

I need to finish testing first.
