[v3] apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb changes

As GMUX depends on IO for iGP to be enabled and active, lock the IO at
vgaarb level. This should prevent GPU driver for dGPU to disable IO for
iGP while it tries to own legacy VGA IO.

This fixes usage of backlight control combined with closed nvidia
driver on some Apple dual-GPU (intel/nvidia) systems.

On those systems loading nvidia driver disables intel IO decoding,
disabling the gmux backlight controls as a side effect.
Prior to commits moving boot_vga from (optional) efifb to less optional
vgaarb this mis-behavior could be avoided by using right kernel config
(efifb enabled but vgaarb disabled).

This patch explicitly does not try to trigger vgaarb changes in order
to avoid confusing already running graphics drivers. If IO has been
mis-configured by vgaarb gmux will thus fail to probe.
It is expected to load/probe gmux prior to graphics drivers.

Resending v2 in the hope Darren won't hit quoted-printable.
Also adding linux-pci on CC by Bjorn's request in bugzilla.

Changes since v2:
- Renamed gmux_find_pdev to gmux_get_io_pdev
- Whitespace fix
- vga_put() on error path

Changes since v1:
- Dropped repeat of gmux in pr_info/pr_err calls
- Mention PCI device we tried to lock IO for in case of error

Much better, thanks. Queued.

FYI, this actually broke backlight controls on my MBP11,3 because the
assumption the patch makes that gmux is always loaded before graphics
drivers didn't hold true. At least for me dracut included the nouveau
module in the initrd but not gmux, ensuring the ordering was wrong. No
errors were reporting, and gmux still offered the backlight device, it
just became inoperable. I worked around this for my kernel by building
gmux into vmlinuz instead of as a module but that isn't going to in
more general configs because there is an apple backlight driver which
cannot be built at all in that configuration.

Is there a way to make the ordering between nouveau and gmux more
explicit/reliable? Can gmux complain loudly if the ordering is ever
wrong?

Thank you for reporting this Michael,

That is tough as nouveau doesn't have an explicit dependency on gmux, so we
could do something like a passive request_module(), but if it isn't in the
initrd image, it would still fail as you describe.

It should print an error if the probe fails due to the IO already being in use
or if it can't be allocated. The disabled IO case is only info level though,
perhaps that should be higher priority. Printing something when failing to probe
seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Michael, which message do you get if you boot with "debug" or "loglevel=6" when
apple-gmux is not built-in?

No error, gmux claims it worked:

A full kernel log up to including post-initrd loading of gmux would be
useful.

As far as I have seen nouveau should not be doing unneeded vgaarb
operations by itself (though userspace might be) as opposed to closed
nvidia driver.

If your systems allows, try booting to init=/bin/bash, then check for
backlight, load nouveau, check for backlight and finally load gmux and
check backlight (putting i915 in the mix where initrd/userspace puts
it would be nice).

Thanks,
Bruno

What GPUs are there in your MBP11,3? From your dmesg it looks like all
you have is NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (lspci?).

Is there a somehow hidden intel GPU around doing the backlight?
If so my locking does the wrong thing for your system as:

[    0.393298] vgaarb: device added: PCI:0000:01:00.0,decodes=io+mem,owns=none,locks=none
[    0.393299] vgaarb: loaded
[    0.393300] vgaarb: setting as boot device: PCI:0000:01:00.0
[    0.393301] vgaarb: bridge control possible 0000:01:00.0
...
[   13.693379] apple_gmux: Found gmux version 4.0.8 [indexed]
[   13.693400] vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI:0000:01:00.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=none
[   13.693404] apple_gmux: locked IO for PCI:0000:01:00.0

Here it triggers "olddecodes=none -> io+mem".

Making sure to lock only the intel GPU when present and especially protecting
against nvidia driver will be hard if legacy-IO is being processed by a hidden
device!

Both before and after loading nouveau there is a working acpi_video
backlight control. Then after loading gmux it is the only backlight
control and it doesn't do anything.

On this system if you don't futz with the firmware in just the right
way it hides the Intel GPU:

https://github.com/marineam/linux/commit/1f2fcbbca18176e2e6c862774428dad878bbac51

Exposing the Intel GPU isn't particularly great because power
management gets wonky and I've never figured out how to switch between
the GPUs, reconfiguring the eDP link never works right. Even when
running with the Intel hidden the current nouveau driver cannot redo
the eDP link so I have a hack to prevent modesetting from ever
powering the link down:

https://github.com/marineam/linux/commit/4b7e27ba268755963e24886e26e198531aa4da68

In short this machine is frickin weird.

I had assumed that the Intel GPU was completely out of the game when
hidden but if that isn't the case this sounds complicated. :(

Ugh indeed. Worst case we can special case via dmi strings. Is this Apple device
significantly different from others? Bruno, what are you testing on?

I only own a pretty old MacBook Air with just NVIDIA IGP and had to
rely on BUG reports and testing from affected users.

Not doing anything on apple-gmux when only a single GPU is visible
should be easy, but denying any vgaarb operation when Intel IGP is
hidden and just discrete GPU present is much harder (if one does not
want to risk opening the next can of worms).

DMI based special-casing would work but will it uncover the next issue
with the same device configured differently?

No, we would need a combination. I presume "configured differently" would mean
the Intel GPU present - which would be detectable.

DMI + Nvidia = do A
DMI + Intel = do B
