kfd process kref count(process->ref) is initialized to 1 by
kref_init. After
it is created not need to increaes its kref. Instad add kfd process
kref at kfd
process mmu notifier allocation since we decrease the ref at
free_notifier of
mmu_notifier_ops, so pair them.
That's not correct. kfd_create_process returns a struct kfd_process *
reference. That gets stored by the caller in filep->private_data.
That requires incrementing the reference count. You can have multiple
references to the same struct kfd_process if user mode opens /dev/kfd
multiple times. The reference is released in kfd_release. Your change
breaks that use case.
ok, if user mode open and close /dev/kfd multiple times(current Thunk
only allows user process open the kfd node once) the change will
break this use case.
The reference released in kfd_process_free_notifier is only one per
process and it's the reference created by kref_init.
I think we can increase kref if find_process return true(the user
process already created kfd process). If find_process return false do
not increase kref since kref_init has been set to 1.
Or change find_process(thread, false) to find_process(thread, true)
that will increase kref if it finds kfd process has been created.
The idea is to pair kref update between alloc_notifier and
free_notifier of mmu_notifier_ops for same process(mm). That would
seem natural.
What's the problem you're trying to solve? Is it just a cosmetic issue?
The MMU notifier is registered in create_process (not
kfd_create_process). If you add a kref_get in kfd_process_alloc_notifier
you need to kfd_unref_process somewhere in create_process. I don't think
it's worth the trouble and only risks introducing more reference
counting bugs.
