What is KFD eviction fence?
For KFD submissions are done by user mode process. If any of user mode
queues are active, KFD driver must ensure that all the BOs associated
with that process must be resident. This is ensured by adding a
blanket eviction fence to all of the process BOs.
When will the eviction fence be signaled?
Eviction fence will be signaled only when the system is low on memory
and TTM wants to move / evict BOs. Before signaling the fence KFD
driver quiesces all the queues that belongs to that process. After a
timeout the reverse is done to make the process queues active again.
What is the current issue?
Interop BOs. KFD fence is attached to shared BO. So when graphics
tries do a CS using this BO, KFD driver mistakes this to be an
eviction. This patch is to solve this issue.
