Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw, typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small. Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and width/height used for the copy: ---------------------------------------- radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[210:70] dst[210:60] wh[a0:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[2b8:70] dst[2b8:60] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[00000140] src[348:70] dst[348:60] wh[40:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80020140] src[390:70] dst[390:60] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002613f] src[40:80] dst[40:70] wh[28:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026139] src[a8:80] dst[a8:70] wh[38:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026133] src[e8:80] dst[e8:70] wh[80:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002612d] src[170:80] dst[170:70] wh[30:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026127] src[1a8:80] dst[1a8:70] wh[8:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[80026121] src[1b8:80] dst[1b8:70] wh[88:10] radeonfb_prim_copyarea: STATUS[8002611b] src[248:80] dst[248:70] wh[68:10] ---------------------------------------- When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit 14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full. What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-) radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways. ---------------------------------------- radeonfb: FIFO Timeout !

This will only happen if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen. This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb drivers too. So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on the relevant chips. Signed-off-by: David S.
