Commit Message

lihuisong (C) Dec. 3, 2022, 9:51 a.m. UTC
Currently, PCC driver doesn't support the processing of platform
notification for slave PCC subspaces because of the incomplete
communication flow.

According to ACPI specification, if platform sends a notification
to OSPM, it must clear the command complete bit and trigger platform
interrupt. OSPM needs to check whether the command complete bit is
cleared, clear platform interrupt, process command, and then set the
command complete and ring doorbell to Platform. But the current judgment
on the command complete is not applicable to type4 in pcc_mbox_irq().

This patch introduces a communication flow direction field to detect
whether the interrupt belongs to the master or slave subspace channel.
And PCC driver needs to add the phase of setting the command complete
and ring doorbell in pcc_mbox_irq() to complete type4 communication
flow after processing command from Platform.

Hi Huisong,

Apologies for such a long delay.

Also I would like to hear from Robbie King who I know is playing around
with this these days 😄. At minimum if this logic works for him as well.

I would rather just save the 'type' as read from the PCCT. We don't know
what future types might be and just identifying them by the direction of
flow of the data, it restricts the usage of this.

Probably rename this as pcc_chan_command_complete or something similar.

Use the channel type instead here.

@Robbie King,
Do you use this patchset to test your requirements?
Any other problems? Can you tell us your result?

Sorry for the delay.  I have verified the two patches continue to pass the
limited stress testing I have done with earlier change sets.

Thanks Robbie King.
