Move lvs1 and lvs2 regulator nodes up in the rpmh-regulators
list to workaround a boot regression uncovered by the upstream
commit ad44ac082fdf ("regulator: qcom-rpmh: Revert "regulator:
qcom-rpmh: Use PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS"").
Without this fix DB845c fail to boot at times because one of the
lvs1 or lvs2 regulators fail to turn ON in time.

FWIW, as it's not obvious: this...

...is a report about a regression. One that we could still solve before
6.4 is out. One I'll likely will point Linus to, unless a fix comes into
sight.
When I noticed the reluctant replies to this patch I earlier today asked
in the thread with the report what the plan forward was:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAD%3DFV%3DV-h4EUKHCM9UivsFHRsJPY5sAiwXV3a1hUX9DUMkkxdg@mail.gmail.com/
Dough there replied:

Of the two proposals made (the revert vs. the reordering of the dts),
the reordering of the dts seems better. It only affects the one buggy
board (rather than preventing us to move to async probe for everyone)
and it also has a chance of actually fixing something (changing the
order that regulators probe in rpmh-regulator might legitimately work
around the problem). That being said, just like the revert the dts
reordering is still just papering over the problem and is fragile /
not guaranteed to work forever.
```
Papering over obviously is not good, but has anyone a better idea to fix
this? Or is "not fixing" for some reason an viable option here?

I understand there is a regression, although kernel is not mainline
(hash df7443a96851 is unknown) and the only solutions were papering the
problem. Reverting commit is a temporary workaround. Moving nodes in DTS
is not acceptable because it hides actual problem and only solves this
one particular observed problem, while actual issue is still there. It
would be nice to be able to reproduce it on real mainline with normal
operating system (not AOSP) - with ramdiks/without/whatever. So far no
one did it, right?

The worry I have about the revert here is that it will never be able
to be undone and that doesn't seem great long term. I'm all for a
temporary revert to fix a problem while the root cause is understood,
but in this case I have a hard time believing that we'll make more
progress towards a root cause once the revert lands. All the
investigation we've done so far seems to indicate that the revert only
fixes the problem by luck...
I completely agree that moving the nodes in the DTS is a hack and just
hides the problem. However, it also at least limits the workaround to
the one board showing the problem and doesn't mean we're stuck with
synchronous probe for rpmh-regulator for all eternity because nobody
can understand this timing issue on db845c.

I agree that we shouldn't hide this by reverting the regulator change.
And as has been stated a few times already, the symptom indicates that
we have a misconfigured system.
Before accepting a patch just shuffling the bricks, I'd like to see some
more analysis of what happens wrt the rpmh right before the timeout.
Perhaps the landing team can assist here?

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.
As Linus will likely release 6.4 on this or the following Sunday a quick
status inquiry so I can brief him appropriately: is there any hope the
regression this patch tried to fix will be resolved any time soon?
Doesn't look like it from below message and this thread, but maybe I
missed something.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

We are most likely to miss v6.4. I'm trying to reproduce the crash
with tracing enabled, to share some more debug information.

No update since then, so I assume this remains fixed. I'll thus remove this from the tracking; please holler if you think it might make sense to continue tracking this. #regzbot resolved: apparently solved with during the 6.5 merge window #regzbot ignore-activity Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr That page also explains what to do if mails like this annoy you.

No, I did not try non-AOSP system yet. I'll try it tomorrow, if that
helps. With mainline hash.

Hi, here is the crash report on db845c running vanilla v6.4-rc6 with a
debian build https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=1142
And fwiw here is the db845c crash log with AOSP running vanilla
v6.4-rc6 https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=1141
Regards,
Amit Pundir
PS: rootfs in this bug report doesn't matter much because I'm loading
all the kernel modules from a ramdisk and in the case of a crash the
UFS doesn't probe anyway.

I just tried current next with defconfig (I could not find your config,
neither here, nor in your previous mail thread nor in bugzilla). Also
with REGULATOR_QCOM_RPMH as module.
I tried also v6.4-rc6 - also defconfig with default and module
REGULATOR_QCOM_RPMH.
All the cases work on my RB3 - no warnings reported.
If you do not use defconfig, then in all reports please mention the
differences (the best) or at least attach it.
Best regards,

Argh.. Sorry about that. Big mistake from my side. I did want to
upload my defconfig but forgot. Defconfig plays a key role because, as
I mentioned in one of my previous email, it is a timing/race bug and
if I do any much changes in my defconfig (i.e. enable ftrace for
example or as little as add printk in qcom_rpmh_regulator code) then I
can't reproduce this bug. So needless to say that I can't reproduce
this bug with default arm64 defconfig.
Please find my custom (but upstream) defconfig here
https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=1143 and prebuilt binaries
here https://people.linaro.org/~amit.pundir/db845c-userdebug/rpmh_bug/.
"fastboot flash boot ./boot.img-6.4-rc6 reboot" and/or a few (<5)
reboots should be enough to trigger the crash.
I have downloaded the initrd from here
https://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/dragonboard845c/linaro/debian/569/initrd.img-5.15.0-qcomlt-arm64
but edited ramdisk/init to run "load_module" function early in the
boot and ramdisk/conf/initramfs.conf has "MODULES=list" instead of
"MODULES=most", where all the kernel modules are listed at
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.

So you have interconnect as module - this is not a supported setup. It
might work with if all the modules are loaded very early or might not.
Pinctrl is another driver which should be built-in.
With your defconfig I see regular issue - console and system dies
because of lack of interconnects, most likely. I don't see your WARNs -
I just see usual hang.
See:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221021032702.1340963-1-krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org/
If you want them to really be modules, then you need to fix all the
dependencies (SOFTDEP?), probe ordering glitches. It's not a problem of
DTS. Just because something can be built as module, does not mean it
will work. We don't test it, we don't work with them as modules.
It's kind of the same as here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ac328b6a-a8e2-873d-4015-814cb4f5588e@canonical.com/
I understand that we might have here regression, if these were working
as modules, but I don't think we ever really committed to it. We can as
well make it non-module to solve the regression.

Krzysztof

That's why I am pushing against blindly adding "tristate" by everyone working on GKI. Because such folks like to make them tristate, but not actually test it or work on issues later. That's exactly the case from Google and Samsung patches here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ac328b6a-a8e2-873d-4015-814cb4f5588e@canonical.com/ and in previous submissions. > I took a quick look at the history of the interconnect > driver and it is tristate from the beginning.

Or maybe some versions were working on boards where debug serial does not have interconnect, but new chips just followed the pattern without testing? > >> >> It's kind of the same as here: >> https://lore.kernel.org/all/ac328b6a-a8e2-873d-4015-814cb4f5588e@canonical.com/ >> >> I understand that we might have here regression, if these were working >> as modules, but I don't think we ever really committed to it.

DTS workaround? No. I don't agree. Once it is merged it will not be fixed. I am perfectly fine though with making the interconnect or even rpmh regulator bool instead of tristate.

As Doug also mentioned in one of his earlier emails, this workaround is only limited to one particular board. If I try to change the common interconnect and/or rpmh driver then it will need ack from other stake holders as well and I'll most likely get more pushback from that side. Regards, Amit Pundir

Why regulator would fail to turn on time? If it has ramp-up delay, add
it to DT. Otherwise how is it possible? You have a consumer, right?
This is not the correct solution and it is hiding real issue.

This is a hack, but it at least feels less bad than reverting the
async probe patch. I'll leave it to Bjorn to decide if he's OK with
it. Personally, it feels like this would deserve a comment in the dts
to document that these regulators need to be listed first.
Ideally, we could still work towards a root cause. I added a few more
ideas to help with root causing in reply to the original thread about
this.

We do not shape DTS based on given OS behavior. AOSP needs this, BSD
needs that and Linux needs something else. Next time someone will move
these regulators down because on his system probing is from end of list,
not beginning and he has the same problem.
No, really, are we going to reshuffle nodes because AOSP needs it?

Hi, other than the fact that I reproduced it on AOSP, there is nothing
AOSP specific in this patch. I'm sure there may be another
platforms/OS (which load kernel modules from a ramdisk) that may trip
on this bug. But I can try reproducing it on an OS of your choice if
it helps.

I wrote earlier imaginary system where RPM driver loads the regulators
from the end. It would require re-shuffling to previous order of the
nodes. Feel free to change the RPM drivers to simulate it and you should
see that your patch stops helping.
The problem looks like in missing consumers, missing probe dependencies
or something in the driver how it handles these.
DTS should not be used for solving OS related problems.
Best regards,
Krzysztof

Missing consumers seem to be the case here, if I'm reading the $debugfs/regulator/regulator_summary correctly(?) https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/raw/2jwn0EQw. lvs1 and lvs2 sysfs entries in /sys/class/regulator/ do not list any consumers explicitly either.

They are marked as always-on regulators, though. The lack of an explicit consumer in device tree shouldn't really matter. I don't think this is the source of your problem. -Doug
