[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: add rcu_barrier after entity fini

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Christian,
        When we free an IB fence, we first call one call_rcu in drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled as the call trace one, then after the call trace one,
 we call the call_rcu second in the  amdgpu_fence_release in call trace two, as below.

 The kmem_cache_free(amdgpu_fence_slab, fence)'s call trace as below:
    1.drm_sched_entity_fini ->
    drm_sched_entity_cleanup ->
    dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled) ->
    drm_sched_fence_release_finished ->
    drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled ->
    call_rcu(&fence->finished.rcu, drm_sched_fence_free)

    2.drm_sched_fence_free ->
    dma_fence_put(fence->parent) ->
    amdgpu_fence_release ->
    call_rcu(&f->rcu, amdgpu_fence_free) ->
    kmem_cache_free(amdgpu_fence_slab, fence);
