[ Upstream commit dba7d17d50b4488c697e991d18a0e55669d9fa59 ]
The guc_info debugfs attempts to read a bunch of registers that the VFs doesn't have access to, so fix it by skipping the reads.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my analysis: ## Bug Fix Analysis The commit addresses a **specific runtime failure** in VF (Virtual Function) environments where the `guc_info` debugfs interface attempts to read hardware registers that VFs don't have access to. This is a clear bug fix that prevents crashes or access violations. ## Code Change Assessment The fix is **minimal and surgical**: ```c - fw_ref = xe_force_wake_get(gt_to_fw(gt), XE_FW_GT); - if (!fw_ref) - return; + if (!IS_SRIOV_VF(gt_to_xe(gt))) { + fw_ref = xe_force_wake_get(gt_to_fw(gt), XE_FW_GT); + if (!fw_ref) + return; ``` The change wraps the problematic register access code in a VF check, only executing the register reads for non-VF environments. This is exactly the right approach for hardware access restrictions. ## Backport Suitability Criteria ✅ **Fixes user-affecting bug**: VFs attempting to use debugfs would fail/crash ✅ **Small and contained**: Only 4 lines changed, wrapping existing code in a conditional ✅ **No architectural changes**: Maintains existing functionality for PF, just skips for VF ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: The conditional is well-established (`IS_SRIOV_VF`) and used throughout the codebase ✅ **Clear issue reference**: Closes GitLab issue #4775 ✅ **Debugfs-specific**: Non- critical path, but important for system stability ## Similar Commit Pattern Analysis This follows the same pattern as other VF-related fixes in the xe driver, where hardware access is conditional based on `IS_SRIOV_VF()` checks. The kernel tree shows numerous similar patterns where VF access restrictions are handled this way. ## Risk Assessment **Very Low Risk**: The change only affects the debugfs interface, doesn't modify core functionality, and uses an established conditional pattern. For VF environments, it prevents access violations; for non-VF environments, behavior is unchanged. This is a textbook stable backport candidate: it fixes a clear bug with minimal, contained changes and near-zero regression risk.
