If waiting for gpu reset done in KFD release_work, thers is WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected #2 kfd_create_process kfd_process_mutex flush kfd release work #1 kfd release work wait for amdgpu reset work #0 amdgpu_device_gpu_reset kgd2kfd_pre_reset kfd_process_mutex Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock((work_completion)(&p->release_work)); lock((wq_completion)kfd_process_wq); lock((work_completion)(&p->release_work)); lock((wq_completion)amdgpu-reset-dev); To fix this, KFD create process move flush release work outside kfd_process_mutex.
