Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: fix potential VM faults

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

 



I'm not disagreeing with the change. Just trying to understand how this 
could have caused a VM fault. If the page tables are reserved or fenced 
while you allocate a new one, they would not be evicted. If they are not 
reserved or fenced, there should be no expectation that they stay resident.

Is this related to recoverable page fault handling? Do we need some more 
generic way to handle eviction of page tables and update the parent page 
directory (invalidate the corresponding PDE)?

Regards,
