Hi,

I tested Linux mainline kernel 5.15 (aarch64) with enabled VC4 on RPi 4B. I notice UI freezes a while (about 10 seconds) some times.

The kernel shows the error message during the time:

[drm:drm_crtc_commit_wait] *ERROR* flip_done timed out [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done] *ERROR* [CRTC:68:crtc-3] flip_done timed out [drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies] *ERROR* [CRTC:68:crtc-3] commit wait timed out [drm:drm_crtc_commit_wait] *ERROR* flip_done timed out vc4-drm gpu: [drm] *ERROR* Timed out waiting for commit

Here is the full log: https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/files/7518076/dmesg-5.15.log

It is easy to reproduce this issue by invoking GL related things, for example "es2gears".

After detail test, I found it is related to these commits:

• f3c420fe19f8 ("drm/vc4: kms: Convert to atomic helpers")
• 82faa3276012 ("drm/vc4: kms: Remove async modeset semaphore")

This issue cannot be reproduced after I revert the commits.

I've been working on those regressions recently, and just sent all the fixes I have so far: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20211115113105.103275-1-maxime@cerno.tech/

Based on the symptoms you provided, I think it should be fixed with those patches

Let me know how it goes Maxime
