Yup, either way is fine as long as it's consistent.

Errors should actually be reported by the caller, not here.
So we should probably remove that DRM_ERROR here as well.

Why not be consistent and add a DRM_ERROR on all paths that include an error? e.g. instead of
if (r)
goto error_free;
Throw a DRM_ERROR("") in there.

Patch #1:
Could be that we need to add another module parameter to control this,
but I think for now that should be sufficient.
Patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig at amd.com><mailto:christian.koenig at amd.com>

When there is an error you should return the code as well.

Just changing this to to "return r;" should be sufficient.
With that fixed the patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König
<christian.koenig at amd.com><mailto:christian.koenig at amd.com> as well.
Patch #3:
You mentioned that this isn't used during command submission but rather
during GPU reset, correct?
In this case I would advise not to use a member in the BO structure to
note the backup direction and instead have one function for back and one
for restoring the content (or note that as a parameter to the function).
Otherwise we could run into trouble when the CS wants to backup
something the GPU reset wants to restore at the same time.
Patch #4: Was already reviewed by me.
Patch #5:
> + pt = params->shadow ? vm->page_tables[pt_idx].entry.robj->shadow :
> + vm->page_tables[pt_idx].entry.robj;
You need to double check here if shadows are actually allocated or not.
Otherwise we will crash on an APU.

We don't need to double the IB size, but only the number of commands in
it (ncmds).
The difference is when we want to write scattered GART entries. In this
case I've added the PTEs to the end of the IB.
Patch #6:
> + spinlock_t shadow_list_lock;
We might want to use a mutex here instead. Usually I would agree that a
spin lock is better for a linked list, but during the restore process in
a GPU reset we probably want to sleep here.
Alternatively you could splice the list to a local version on the stack,
grab references to the BOs and then drop the lock during the restore
process.

That would trigger even when we take a temporary reference. I suggest to
add a amdgpu_bo_unref_shadow() function instead, unreferencing both the
shadow and the normal BO.
This can then be used in the VM code to cleanup the shadow created.
Going to skip patch #7 and #8 for now cause our team call begins in a
moment.
Regards,
Christian.
