In a case when DP link has been once trained we can reuse
the existing link training parameters i.e. voltage swing
and pre-emphasis levels from cache when there is a need to
restart link training. In a case of eDP we initially try
to train the link by using the parameter set that we can find
from VBT. The fallback on both cases is to reset the link
training parameters and restart.

I don't think the fallback from bad VBT values works as on failure they
just get reset. Care to enlighten me?

Thank you for the comment! This was my first patch to gfx development so all comments are welcomed.

The idea that I had in mind was to initially start DP link training with the parameters that are stored in VBT. If we are unlucky and the link cannot be established at once by applying those initial parameters the parameters are reset to zero and link training is restarted. I do agree that the fallback in this case is unnecessary if VBT values are reset to zero in case of a failure.

Cheers,
Mika

I do agree that the fallback in this case is unnecessary if VBT values are reset to zero in case of a failure.

The VBT values themselves are not reset to zero. What I meant was the
sequence for VBT recovery is:

first time link training
-> intel_dp_reset_link_train()
   -> use VBT values
-> reuse_train_set = true
clock recovery !ok
-> reuse_train_set == true
  -> intel_dp_reset_link_train
     -> use VBT values again
  -> reuse_train_set = false

i.e. every time we call reset_link_train we restore the VBT values and
not zero. What you want is something like a
intel_dp->edp_use_vbt_train_set flag that is initially set to
is_edp(intel_edp) and then cleared if clock recovery ever fails.

I think you have a good idea here for the eDP case. But the way it's 
coded, there appear to be cases where the code will try to reuse the 
same training settings for regular DP as well. That will likely have 
some unfortunate results, as there's no guarantee for a normal external 
Displayport connection that training settings which worked once will 
work the next time. This would be of particular concern when 
disconnecting and reconnecting Displayport sink devices, as it appears 
as though it would try to retrain the newly connected device using the 
previously valid settings for the old device.

IMHO, this really needs to be written as eDP only and such that it can 
never occur on an external Displayport device. Otherwise, it seems like 
there's a good chance of ending up with a black screen when you plug in 
a Displayport monitor.

I'm not sure you want to be updating the sink device at this point. This 
should be checked against the spec to be sure it's not out of sequence.

The link_trained flag is set here but never initialized or cleared 
anywhere else. So it looks like once it's set, it's there forever. That 
being the case, this code would never hit the else() case where 
intel_dp->link_trained is checked further up. I'm pretty sure that's not 
what you intended... :)

I've thought we should retrain with the same parameters we used the
last time iff the link was succesully trained using those parameters
in the past and the sink hasn't been disconnected in the meantime.
We'd do this in the hopes of speeding up subsequent link trainings.
So resetting the saved parameters on link training failure and long
HPD should be good enough here, I think.

And this way the VBT thing could just be a special case where we just
sort of pretend that we succesfully trained the link using those
parameters in the past. Oh and we could also read out the state from
the hardware during init, and assuming the link was up and stable at
the time we could populate the "previous good values" from whatever
the BIOS actually programmed into the hardware.

Anyway, that's just how I've imagined we should implement this kind of
stuff.

Hmm, I thought it would be all right on external DP also if we ensure we
reset the train set when the sink may have changed, i.e. at suspend and
hotplug.

Though VBT fields for Fast Link Training has been available for a long 
time it was not always filled and there was no way to know if the values 
in VBT are valid or not. Hence it is more than likely to be entering the 
failing condition. There was a field added in BDW timeline to say if the 
VBT fields for FLT values is valid or not, so please use them only after 
such a check.
