GuC converts the pre-emption timeout and timeslice quantum values into clock ticks internally. That significantly reduces the point of 32bit overflow. On current platforms, worst case scenario is approximately
Where does 32-bit come from, the GuC side? We already use 64-bits so that something to fix to start with. Yep...
./gt/uc/intel_guc_fwif.h: u32 execution_quantum;
./gt/uc/intel_guc_submission.c: desc->execution_quantum = engine->props.timeslice_duration_ms * 1000;
./gt/intel_engine_types.h: unsigned long timeslice_duration_ms;
timeslice_store/preempt_timeout_store: err = kstrtoull(buf, 0, &duration);
So both kconfig and sysfs can already overflow GuC, not only because of tick conversion internally but because at backend level nothing was done for assigning 64-bit into 32-bit. Or I failed to find where it is handled.
110 seconds. Rather than allowing the user to set higher values and then get confused by early timeouts, add limits when setting these values.
Btw who is reviewing GuC patches these days - things have somehow gotten pretty quiet in activity and I don't think that's due absence of stuff to improve or fix? Asking since I think I noticed a few already which you posted and then crickets on the mailing list.

Hm "wanted".. There's been too much back and forth on the GuC load options over the years to keep track.. intel_engine_uses_guc work sounds like would work and read nicer.
And limit to class instead of applying to all engines looks like a miss.
Sorry limit to class does not apply here, I confused this with the last patch.

I am not sure logging such message during driver load is useful. Sounds more like a confused driver which starts with one value and then overrides itself. I'd just silently set the value appropriate for the active backend. Preemption timeout kconfig text already documents the fact timeouts can get overriden at runtime depending on platform+engine. So maybe just add same text to timeslice kconfig.

I would suggest to avoid duplicated clamping logic. Maybe hide the all backend logic into the helpers then, like maybe:
d = intel_engine_validate_timeslice/preempt_timeout(engine, duration); if (d != duration) return -EINVAL:
Returning -EINVAL would be equivalent to existing behaviour:
if (duration > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT)) return -EINVAL;
That way userspace has explicit notification and read-back is identical to written in value. From engine setup you can just call the helper silently.

Most important question - how will we know/notice if/when new GuC arrives where these timeouts would still overflow? Can this be queried somehow at runtime or where does the limit comes from? How is GuC told about it? Set in some field and it just allows too large values silently break things?
