[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/nouveau: subscribe to channel-kill events on NV50 and newer

From: Marek Czernohous <[email protected]>

nouveau_channel_init() only subscribes to the channel-killed event for
FERMI_CHANNEL_GPFIFO and newer. On NV50/Tesla the subscription therefore
never happens, and nvkm_chan_error()'s NVKM_CHAN_EVENT_ERRORED is
delivered into an empty notifier list.

Today that is harmless, because nothing kills a channel on Tesla: the
only nvkm_chan_error() callers are the Fermi and newer recovery paths.
The next patch adds such a caller for Tesla, and without a subscriber
the consequences are severe. nouveau_channel_killed() never runs, so
nouveau_fence_context_kill() never runs either, and the pending fences
of the killed channel are never signalled. Everything waiting on them
waits forever: drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_fences() in the display commit
tail waits uninterruptibly and without a timeout, and the TTM delayed
delete workers wait in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. The user sees a frozen
desktop on a machine that is otherwise alive; it stays that way for
minutes until the fences time out, and a reboot clears it immediately.
That is also a dma-fence contract violation: a fence must always be
signalled, with an error if necessary.

Lower the class gate to NV50_CHANNEL_GPFIFO. The nvkm side is already
class neutral: the KILLED case hangs the notifier on runl->chid->event,
which every fifo owns since the runlist rework, and nvkm_uchan_uevent()
does not discriminate by class. Pre-NV50 chips keep the old behaviour,
so NV04 to NV40 are unaffected.
