mei: gsc: demote unexpected reset print

2025-09-18T16:29:33Z

Discrete graphic card can go to D3cold. On the exit from D3cold the link reset is performed. Driver did not expect such link reset and print warning. Print debug message for unexpected reset in discrete graphic case and remove infrastructure to print warning is some cases.

mei: retry connect if interrupted by link reset

2025-09-18T16:29:33Z

When device is in D3cold the connect message will wake device and cause link reset. Link reset flow cleans all queues and wakes all waiters. Retry the connect flow if connect is failed and link reset is detected.

mei: me: trigger link reset if hw ready is unexpected

2025-09-18T16:29:33Z

Driver can receive HW not ready interrupt unexpectedly. E.g. for cards that go donwn to D3cold. Trigger link reset in this case to synchronize driver and firmware state. No need to do that sync if driver is going down or interrupt is received before driver started initial link reset sequence. Introduce UNINITIALIZED device state to allow interrupt handler to ignore interrupts before first init.

mei: hook mei_device on class device

2025-09-06T17:50:54Z

mei_device lifetime was managed by devm procedure of parent device. But such memory is freed on device_del. Mei_device object is used by client object that may be alive after parent device is removed. It may lead to use-after-free if discrete graphics driver unloads mei_gsc auxiliary device while user-space holds open handle to mei character device. Connect mei_device structure lifteme to mei class device lifetime by adding mei_device free to class device remove callback. Move exising parent device pointer to separate field in mei_device to avoid misuse. Allocate character device dynamically and allow to control its own lifetime as it may outlive mei_device structure while character device closes after parent device is removed from the system. Leave power management on parent device as we overwrite pci runtime pm procedure and user-space is expecting it there.

mei: me: emit error only if reset was unexpected

2023-10-18T08:01:34Z

GSC devices perform legal firmware initiated resets due to state transition that may appear as unexpected to the driver. Lower the log level for those devices to debug level and save the firmware status registers. When the device comes out of the reset it is possible to check whether the resets was due to a firmware error or an exception and only than produce a warning.

mei: obtain firmware version only on gsc.

2023-07-30T12:17:27Z

Modern GSC firmwares have both static and dynamic MKHI clients. Avoid expensive dynamic client call for firmware version retrieval, in case the firmware version is already retrieved from the fix address client in bus_fixup().

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes for 6.2-rc1. Nothing earth-shattering in here at all, just a lot of new driver development and minor fixes. Highlights include: - fastrpc driver updates - iio new drivers and updates - habanalabs driver updates for new hardware and features - slimbus driver updates - speakup module parameters added to aid in boot time configuration - i2c probe_new conversions for lots of different drivers - other small driver fixes and additions One semi-interesting change in here is the increase of the number of misc dynamic minors available to 1048448 to handle new huge-cpu systems.

mei: add timeout to send

2022-11-23T18:43:33Z

When driver wakes up the firmware from the low power state, it is sending a memory ready message. The send is done via synchronous/blocking function to ensure that firmware is in ready state. However, in case of firmware undergoing reset send might be block forever. To address this issue a timeout is added to blocking write command on the internal bus. Introduce the __mei_cl_send_timeout function to use instead of __mei_cl_send in cases where timeout is required. The mei_cl_write has only two callers and there is no need to split it into two functions.
