We already fallback to a dummy BO with no backing store when we

Drop all those workarounds and generalize this for GTT as well. This
fixes ENOMEM issues with runaway applications which try to allocate/free
GTT in a loop and are otherwise only limited by the CPU speed.

The CS will wait for the cleanup of freed up BOs to satisfy the
various domain specific limits and so effectively throttle those
buggy applications down to a sane allocation behavior again.

This patch causes some regressions in KFDTest. KFDMemoryTest.MMBench sees a huge VRAM allocation slow-down. And KFDMemoryTest.LargestVramBufferTest can only allocate half the available memory.

Mhm, I wasn't expecting that we use this for the KFD as well.

Yeah, we use amdgpu_gem_object_create. I guess we could duplicate its functionality or add a "no_overcommit" or "greedy" parameter for our needs.




This seems to be caused by initially validating VRAM BOs in the CPU domain, which allocates a ttm_tt. A subsequent validation in the VRAM domain involves a copy from GTT to VRAM.

The idea was to initially create the BOs without any backing store.

I thought about it a bit more. I believe the BO creation without backing store is working as expected. But amdgpu_bo_move can't move the uninitialized BO directly from system to VRAM. It returns -EMULTIHOP. So the BO gets moved to GTT first (allocating system memory) before it can be migrated to VRAM. That adds a bunch of overhead with unnecessary system memory allocation and forces all VRAM to be zero-initialized on the CPU and copied through PCIe. I think your idea would work with almost no overhead if amdgpu_bo_move could directly move a BO without backing store to VRAM with ttm_bo_move_null.

After that, freeing of BOs can get delayed by the ghost object of a previous migration, which delays calling release notifiers and causes problems for KFDs available memory accounting.

I experimented with a workaround that validates BOs immediately after allocation, but that only moves around the delays and doesn't solve the problem. During those experiments I may also have stumbled over a bug in ttm_buffer_object_transfer: It calls ttm_bo_set_bulk_move before initializing and locking fbo->base.base._resv. This results in a flood of warnings because ttm_bo_set_bulk_move expects the reservation to be locked.

Right now I'd like to remove the bp.domain = initial_domain | AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU change in amdgpu_gem_object_create to fix this.

Yeah, let's revert and investigate this first.

Thanks,
Christian.
