[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: fix amdgpu_amdkfd_remove_eviction_fence

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

 



Hi Felix,

yeah, you pretty much nailed it.

The problem is that the array itself is RCU protected. This means that 
you can only copy the whole structure when you want to update it.

The exception is reservation_object_add_shared() which only works 
because we replace an either signaled fence or a fence within the same 
context but a later sequence number.

This also explains why this is only a band aid and the whole approach of 
removing fences doesn't work in general. At any time somebody could have 
taken an RCU reference to the old array, created a copy of it and is now 
still using this one.

The only 100% correct solution would be to mark the existing fence as 
signaled and replace it everywhere else.

Going to fix the copy&paste error I made with the sequence number and 
send it out again.

Regards,
Christian.
