If the vmid is 0, this fault was likely +caused by the kernel driver or firmware. If the vmid is non-0, it is generally +a fault in a user application. The pasid is used to link a vmid to a system +process id. If the process is active when the fault happens, the process +information will be printed. + +The GPU virtual address that caused the fault comes next. + +The client ID indicates the GPU block that caused the fault. +Some common client IDs: + +- CB/DB: The color/depth backend of the graphics pipe +- CPF: Command Processor Frontend +- CPC: Command Processor Compute +- CPG: Command Processor Graphics +- TCP: Shaders +- SDMA: SDMA engines +- VCN: Video encode/decode engines +- JPEG: JPEG engines + +PERMISSION_FAULTS describe what faults were encountered: + +- bit 0: the PTE was not valid +- bit 1: the PTE read bit was not set +- bit 2: the PTE write bit was not set +- bit 3: the PTE execute bit was not set + +Finally, RW, indicates whether the access was a read (0) or a write (1). + +In the example above, a shader (cliend id = TCP) generated a read (RW = 0x0) to +an invalid page (PERMISSION_FAULTS = 0x3) at GPU virtual address +0x0000800102800000.
