There are a few different reg_sr lists managed by the driver for workarounds/tuning: - gt->reg_sr - hwe->reg_sr - hwe->reg_lrc The first two are not relevant to SRIOV VFs; a VF KMD does not have access to the registers that appear on this list and it is the PF KMD's responsibility to apply such programming on behalf of the entire system. However the third list contains per-client values that the VF KMD needs to ensure are incorporated whenever a new LRC is created. Handling of reg_sr lists comes in two steps: processing an RTP table to build a reg_sr from the relevant entries, and then applying the contents of the reg_sr. Skipping the RTP processing (resulting in an empty reg_sr) or skipping the application of a reg_sr are both valid ways to avoid having a VF accidentally try to write registers it doesn't have access to. In commitc19e705ec9("drm/xe/vf: Stop applying save-restore MMIOs if VF") and commit92a5bd3024("drm/xe/vf: Unblock xe_rtp_process_to_sr for VFs") we adjusted the drivers behavior to always process the RTP table into a reg_sr and just skipped the application step. This works fine functionally, but can lead to confusion during debugging since facilities like the debugfs 'register-save-restore' will still report a bunch of registers that the VF KMD isn't actually trying to handle. It will also mislead other upcoming debug changes. Let's go back to skipping the RTP => reg_sr processing step, but only for GT / hwe tables this time. This will allow LRC reg_sr handling to continue to work, but will ensure that gt->reg_sr and hwe->reg_sr remain empty and that debugfs reporting more accurately reflects the KMD's behavior. v2: - Also skip the hwe processing in hw_engine_setup_default_state() and xe_reg_whitelist_process_engine(). v3: - Handle skipping via an additional parameter passed to xe_rtp_process_to_sr() rather than adding conditions at each callsite.
