drm/i915/execlists: Double check breadcrumb before crying foul
process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: cs-irq head=4, tail=5 process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: csb[5]: status=0x00008002:0x60000020 trace_ports: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: preempted { ff84:45154! prio 2 } trace_ports: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: promote { ff84:45155* prio 2 } trace_ports: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: submit { ff84:45156 prio 2 } process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: cs-irq head=5, tail=6 process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: csb[6]: status=0x00000018:0x60000020 trace_ports: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: completed { ff84:45155* prio 2 } process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: ring:{start:0x00178000, head:0928, tail:0928, ctl:00000000, mode:00000200} process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: rq:{start:00178000, head:08b0, tail:08f0, seqno:ff84:45155, hwsp:45156}, process_csb: 0000:00:02.0 bcs0: ctx:{start:00178000, head:e000928, tail:0928}, process_csb: GEM_BUG_ON("context completed before request") In this sequence, we can see that although we have submitted the next request [ff84:45156] to HW (via ELSP[]) it has not yet reported the lite-restore. Instead, we see the completion event of the currently active request [ff84:45155] but at the time of processing that event, the breadcrumb has not yet been written. Though by the time we do print out the debug info, the seqno write of ff84:45156 has landed! Therefore there is a serialisation problem between the seqno writes and CS events, not just between the CS buffer and its head/tail pointers as previously observed on Icelake. This is not a huge problem, as we don't strictly rely on the breadcrumb to determine HW activity, but it may indicate that interrupt delivery is before the seqno write, aka bringing back the plague of missed interrupts from yesteryear. However, there is no indication of this wider problem, so let's just flush the seqno read before reporting an error. If it persists after the fresh read we can worry again.
