Revert "apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb changes"
Commit 4eebd5a4e726 ("apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb changes") amended this driver's ->probe hook to lock decoding of normal (non-legacy) I/O space accesses to the integrated GPU on dual-GPU MacBook Pros. The lock stays in place until the driver is unbound. The change was made to work around an issue with the out-of-tree nvidia graphics driver (available at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html). It contains the following sequence in nvidia/nv.c: #if defined(CONFIG_VGA_ARB) && !defined(NVCPU_PPC64LE) #if defined(VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE) vga_tryget(VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE, VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK); #endif vga_set_legacy_decoding(dev, VGA_RSRC_NONE); #endif This code was reported to cause deadlocks with VFIO already in 2013: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/545560 I've reported the issue to Nvidia developers once more in 2017: https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg138754.html On the MacBookPro10,1, this code apparently breaks backlight control (which is handled by apple-gmux via an I/O region starting at 0x700), as reported by Petri Hodju: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86121 I tried to replicate Petri's observations on my MacBook9,1, which uses the same Intel Ivy Bridge + Nvidia GeForce GT 650M architecture, to no avail. On my machine apple-gmux' I/O region remains accessible even with the nvidia driver loaded and commit 4eebd5a4e726 reverted. Petri reported that apple-gmux becomes accessible again after a suspend/resume cycle because the BIOS changed the VGA routing on the root port to the Nvidia GPU. Perhaps this is a BIOS issue after all that can be fixed with an update? In any case, the change made by commit 4eebd5a4e726 has turned out to cause two new issues: * Wilfried Klaebe reports a deadlock when launching Xorg because it opens /dev/vga_arbiter and calls vga_get(), but apple-gmux is holding a lock on I/O space indefinitely. It looks like apple-gmux' current behavior is an abuse of the vgaarb API as locks are not meant to be held for longer periods: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88861#c11 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=217541 * On dual GPU MacBook Pros introduced since 2013, the integrated GPU is powergated on boot und thus becomes invisible to Linux unless a custom EFI protocol is used to leave it powered on. (A patch exists but is not in mainline yet due to several negative side effects.) On these machines, locking I/O to the integrated GPU (as done by 4eebd5a4e726) fails and backlight control is therefore broken: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105051 So let's revert commit 4eebd5a4e726 please. Users experiencing the issue with the proprietary nvidia driver can comment out the above- quoted problematic code as a workaround (or try updating the BIOS).
