I stumbled across this thread when I ran into the same issue, while
working out how to move drm/msm to use scheduler's retire +
timeout/recovery (and get rid of our own mirror list of in-flight
jobs).  We already have hw error detection enabled, and it can signal
quite fast, so assuming the first job on the list is the guilty job
just won't work.

But I was considering a slightly different approach to fixing this,
instead just handling it all in drm_sched_main() and getting rid of
the complicated kthread parking gymnastics.  Ie. something along the
lines of:
So handling timeouts in the main sched thread wont work as soon as you
have multiple engines and reset that impacts across engines:

- Nothing is simplified since you still need to stop the other scheduler
   threads.

- You get deadlocks if 2 schedulers time out at the same time, and both
   want to stop the other one.

Hence workqueue. Now the rule for the wq is that you can only have one per
reset domain, so
- single engine you just take the one drm/sched provides
- if reset affects all your engines in the chip, then you allocate on in
   the drm_device and pass that to all
- if you have a complex of gpus all interconnected (e.g. xgmi hive for
   amd), then it's one wq for the entire hive

_All_ reset related things must be run on that workqueue or things breaks,
which means if you get hw fault that also needs to be run there. I guess
we should either patch drm/sched to check you call that function from the
right workqueue, or just handle it internally.
Hmm, ok.. I guess it would be useful to better document the reasoning
for the current design, that would have steered me more towards the
approach taken in this patch.
Maybe this was because you worked on an old kernel? Boris did update the
kerneldoc as part of making gpu reset work for panfrost, which has this
multi-engine reset problem. If that's not yet clear then we need to
improve the docs further.

AMD's problem is even worse, because their reset domain is the entire xgmi
hive, so multiple pci devices.

I'm pushing for quite a while that we get something like an amdgpu_reset_domain structure or similar for this, but we unfortunately don't have that yet.

Maybe it should be a good idea to have something like a drm_sched_domain or similar with all the necessary information for the inter scheduler handling.

E.g. a workqueue for reset etc...

Regards,
Christian.


Also there might more issues in drm/sched ofc, e.g. I've looked a bit at
ordering/barriers and I'm pretty sure a lot are still missing. Or at least
we should have comments in the code explaining why it all works.

---------------------

drm_sched_fault() and the sw timeout handler would just set
sched->has_timeout and kick sched->wake_up_worker.

And since we handle the timeout case after
drm_sched_get_cleanup_job(), we know that all of the successfully
completed jobs have already been popped off the list, and won't be
unfairly maligned.

This is a __ function, i.e. considered internal, and it's lockless
atomic, i.e. unordered. And you're not explaining why this works.

Iow it's probably buggy, and an just unconditionally parking the
kthread is probably the right thing to do. If it's not the right thing
to do, there's a bug here for sure.
Also why don't we reuse the function drivers already have to stop a scheduler thread? We seem to have two kthread_park now, that's probably one too much.
