Hi Andrey,

This commit breaks all drivers, which may bail out of the timeout
processing as they wish to extend the timeout (etnaviv, v3d).

Those drivers currently just return from the timeout handler before
calling drm_sched_stop(), which means with this commit applied we are
removing the first job from the ring_mirror_list, but never put it
back. This leads to jobs getting lost from the ring mirror, which then
causes quite a bit of fallout like unsignaled fences.

Not sure yet what to do about it, we can either add a function to add
the job back to the ring_mirror if the driver wants to extend the
timeout, or we could look for another way to stop
drm_sched_cleanup_jobs from freeing jobs that are currently in timeout
processing.
So after thinking about this a bit more my opinion is that we need to
revert this change for now and go back to the drawing board for the
scheduler timeout handling.

Right now this starts to feel like a big midlayer mistake with all the
very intricate intertwining between the drivers and the scheduler. The
rules on when it's safe to manipulate the ring mirror and when
completed jobs are signaled and freed are not really well specified.
The fact that we need to mutate state in order to get rid of races
instead of having a single big "timeout processing is owner of the
scheduler state for now" is a big fat warning sign IMHO.
Yes, that strongly feels like a hack to me as well. But I didn't had
time and still haven't to take a closer look and suggest something better.

In that case, can someone send me a revert?

Well a revert would break our driver.

The real solution is that somebody needs to sit down, gather ALL the requirements and then come up with a solution which is clean and works for everyone.

Christian.


I can to take on this as indeed our general design on this becomes more and more entangled as GPU reset scenarios grow in complexity (at least in AMD driver). Currently I am on a high priority internal task which should take me around a week or 2 to finish and after that I can get to it.

Regarding temporary solution  - I looked into v3d and etnaviv use cases and we in AMD actually face the same scenario where we decide to skip HW reset if the guilty job did finish by the time we are processing the timeout  (see amdgpu_device_gpu_recover and skip_hw_reset goto) - the difference is we always call drm_sched_stop/start irrespectively of whether we are going to actually HW reset or not (same as extend timeout). I wonder if something like this can be done also for ve3 and etnaviv ?

Christian.

It took me far longer than I'd like to admit to understand the failure
mode with fences not getting signaled after a GPU hang. The back and
forth between scheduler and driver code makes things really hard to
follow.

Problem:
Due to a race between drm_sched_cleanup_jobs in sched thread and
drm_sched_job_timedout in timeout work there is a possiblity that
bad job was already freed while still being accessed from the
timeout thread.

Fix:
Instead of just peeking at the bad job in the mirror list
remove it from the list under lock and then put it back later when
we are garanteed no race with main sched thread is possible which
is after the thread is parked.

v2: Lock around processing ring_mirror_list in drm_sched_cleanup_jobs.

v3: Rebase on top of drm-misc-next. v2 is not needed anymore as
drm_sched_get_cleanup_job already has a lock there.

v4: Fix comments to relfect latest code in drm-misc.
