Clarify the smu_cmn_send_smc_msg_with_param documentation to mention two cases exist where messages are silently dropped with no error returned. These cases occur in unusual situations where either: 1. the message type is not allowed to a virtual GPU, or 2. a PCI recovery is underway and the HW is not yet in sync with the SW For more details see commit4ea5081c82("drm/amd/powerplay: enable SMC message filter") commitbf36b52e78("drm/amdgpu: Avoid accessing HW when suspending SW state") (v2) Reworked with suggestions from Luben & Paul (v3) Updated wording as per Luben's feedback Corrected error stating all messages denied on virtual GPU (each GPU has mask of which messages are allowed) Signed-off-by: Darren Powell <darren.powell@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Luben Tuikov <luben.tuikov@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.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.
