Title:
i915 doesn't support some high pixel clock 4k * 60Hz monitors
Status in OEM Priority Project:
Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[Impact]
* Some 4K monitors can not display as maximum resolution from i915
graphic.
* In some 4k monitors, it's support higher pixel clock
The following is the case I have:
Modeline "Mode 0" 533.25 3840 3888 3920 4000 2160 2163 2168
2222 +hsync -vsync
Which will be dropped because the mode rate is greater than i915 maximum data
rate.
kernel: [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline [drm]] Modeline "3840x2160": 60
533250 3840 3888 3920 4000 2160 2163 2168 2222 0x48 0x9
kernel: [drm:drm_mode_prune_invalid [drm]] Not using 3840x2160 mode:
CLOCK_HIGH
The BDB version of Intel vBIOS is 237
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_bios_init [i915]] VBT signature "$VBT
TIGERLAKE ", BDB version 237
In old i915 parsing rule (for greater than v216), the common rate is decoded
as 16200
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_dp_print_rates [i915]] common rates:
162000
Since the Intel updated the parsing rule (for greater then 230). the common
rate is up to 540000
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_dp_print_rates [i915]] common rates:
162000, 270000,
540000
There are 4 lanes support.
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_dp_link_train_phy [i915]] [CONNECTOR:184:DP-2]
Link
Training passed at link rate = 162000, lane count = 4, at DPRX
In this monitor, the max rate (max_link_clock * max_lanes) is:
162000 * 4 = 648000 # if using old parsing rule (> 210)
540000 * 4 = 2160000 # if using updated parsing rule (> 230)
the maximum mode rate is
DIV_ROUND_UP(pixel_clock * bpp, 8);
the bpp here is minimum bpp, which is 6 * 3 = 18
...
max bpc: 12
range: (6, 12)
...
thus:
533250 * 18 + 8 - 1 / 8 = 1199813 # this is maximum mode rate of this monitor.
[Fix]
* It needs to use the updated parsing table (intel BDB table version
> 230) for supporting high pixel clock monitors.
[Test Plan]
* Steps to reproduce
1. Connect a high pixel clock monitor (533KHz in my case) to i915 graphic
which vbios version is v237 (In my case:
ModelName "U2879G6"
VendorName "AOC"
2. Check the display setting, expect a 3840*2160*60Hz option but
there is not 3840*2160*60Hz option.
* if upgrade drm debugging level then you will see the modeline be dropped
because of high clock.
kernel: [drm:drm_mode_prune_invalid [drm]] Not using 3840x2160 mode:
CLOCK_HIGH
* after applying the change, the resolution work good.
[Where problems could occur]
* This change considered the backward compatibility, which will check
the BDB version before applying different parsing rule.
* From software perspective, the monitor will show nothing if Intel
vBIOS using BDB > 230 with undefined dp_max_link_rate field.
* Otherwise, it looks quite ok.
