Fix for kernel WARN

What I'm using:
- R9 290
- Kernel 4.10.4
- ASUS PB278Q monitor, connected with DisplayPort
- OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 13.1.0-devel
  (git-d9fef84) 
- radeon DDX 7.8.99 (Git)

On the above setup, I have two problems:
- Kernel warning that happens when I turn the monitor on from an off state
- Display stays blank after being turned on or waking from sleep

First is the kernel WARN. It looks like this:

After some investigation I found that the attached patch will solve the warning. 

However, it does not solve my other problem, which is that sometimes, when turning the monitor on, the display will not wake; it will just display "No Signal". To make it wake up one has to turn the monitor off and on again a few times, unplug the cable, or (more recently; I'm not sure what changed), turn off the monitor, go to a TTY, and turn the monitor back on.

I enabled debugging in /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug, and saw some messages like:
dp_aux_ch flags not zero: 00000201

Which lead me to create another patch which I will attach in a reply. The patch does help the monitor consistently wake up as it should. Though the radeon_dp_link errors in dmesg still show up.

Both of these issues have been touched on in one way or another in the past. The mutex issue in my first patch was discussed here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6430431/

And doing a web search for AUX_SW_RX_HPD_DISCON (from my second patch) yielded very little useful information except for an attachment to a similar bug from Alex: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=115885&action=edit

I couldn't find any public documentation that describes what those error flags mean. But apparently removing AUX_SW_RX_HPD_DISCON from the set makes my monitor wake up properly.

Do you physically turn the monitor on/off with the button on the monitor or just let dpms do it's thing?

I'm turning it on and off with the button. I seem to recall that it would sometimes stay blank when the desktop environment would blank it (after the timeout), but I can't seem to reproduce it. Definitely happens with the button though.
Comment 4 John Brooks 2017-03-24 19:55:40 UTC
It's possible that I just didn't leave it alone for long enough after it turned off (or after I turned it off with xset dpms force off). Maybe after a period of time with no signal, the monitor itself goes into its own sleep state that affects the DisplayPort connection in a way similar to turning it off completely. If it's important I can test it further.
