Is this likely to land before 5.19 final? It's been nearly 2 weeks since I said if fixed an issue I was seeing https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2074 On Fri, 8 Jul 2022 at 10:05, Christian König <ckoenig.leichtzumerken@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > well the practice to remove all fences by adding a NULL exclusive fence > was pretty much illegal in the first place because this also removes > kernel internal fences which can lead to freeing up memory which is > still accessed. > > I've just didn't noticed that this was used by the KFD code as well > otherwise I would have pushed to clean that up much earlier. > > Regards, > Christian. > > Am 08.07.22 um 03:08 schrieb Pan, Xinhui: > > [AMD Official Use Only - General] > > > > Felix, > > Shared fences depend on exclusive fence, so add a new exclusive fence, say NULL would also remove all shared fences.

The interesting thing is that is done by patch f4a3c42b5c52("drm/amdgpu: Remove kfd eviction fence before release bo (v2)") which is from me 😉 I totally forgot it. > > > > So I would make a new patch to remove this duplicated ef removal. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Kuehling, Felix <Felix.Kuehling@xxxxxxx> > > Sent: Thursday, July 7, 2022 11:47 PM > > To: Christian König <ckoenig.leichtzumerken@xxxxxxxxx>; Pan, Xinhui <Xinhui.Pan@xxxxxxx>; amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Cc: Deucher, Alexander <Alexander.Deucher@xxxxxxx>; Koenig, Christian <Christian.Koenig@xxxxxxx> > > Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Fix a NULL pointer of fence > > > > Am 2022-07-07 um 05:54 schrieb Christian König: > >> Am 07.07.22 um 11:50 schrieb xinhui pan: > >>> Fence is accessed by dma_resv_add_fence() now. > >>> Use amdgpu_amdkfd_remove_eviction_fence instead. > >>> > >>> Signed-off-by: xinhui pan <xinhui.pan@xxxxxxx> > >>> --- > >>> drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm.c | 4 ++-- > >>> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > >>> > >>> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm.c > >>> b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm.c > >>> index 0036c9e405af..1e25c400ce4f 100644 > >>> --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm.c > >>> +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm.c > >>> @@ -1558,10 +1558,10 @@ void amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_destroy_cb(struct > >>> amdgpu_device *adev, > >>> if (!process_info) > >>> return; > >>> - > >>> /* Release eviction fence from PD */ > >>> amdgpu_bo_reserve(pd, false); > >>> - amdgpu_bo_fence(pd, NULL, false); > >>> + amdgpu_amdkfd_remove_eviction_fence(pd, > >>> + process_info->eviction_fence); > >> Good catch as well, but Felix needs to take a look at this. > > This is weird. We used amdgpu_bo_fence(pd, NULL, false) here, which would have removed an exclusive fence. But as far as I can tell we added the fence as a shared fence in init_kfd_vm and amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_restore_process_bos.
