Memory allocation failure can happen at any time, every programmer should correctly handle it.


We are not talking about memory allocation failure, we are talking about the kernel calling panic() because it can't properly resume.

Christian.

If memory allocation failure is not critical error and can gracefully continue to run, it should be acceptable.

The memory allocation failure during mes self test should be the acceptable one. It will not make system hang up and

driver can gracefully continue to run.

Hi Christian,

 

>> Allocating buffers temporary for stuff like that is illegal during resume.

 

Can you *deeply* explain why it is illegal during ip late_init stage which is a part stage of resume?


Well no, I don't have the time to explain this to everybody individually.

 

[Jack] …

 

In my understanding, after gmc ready, driver can allocate/free kernel bo, and after SDMA ready,

the eviction should be ready. What else prevent driver doing that during resume?


The driver are resumed before the core Linux memory management is ready to serve allocations. E.g. swap for example isn't turned on yet.

This means that this stuff only worked because we were able to allocate memory from the pool which isn't guaranteed in any way.

 

>> I strongly suggest to just remove the MES test. It's abusing the kernel ring interface in a way we didn't want anyway and is currently replaced by Shahanks work.

 

The kernel mes unit test is very meaningful and important to catch MES firmware issue at first time before

issue went spread to other components like kfd/umd to avoid the problem complicated, Otherwise, the issue

would become hard to catch and debug.

 

Secondly, for mes unit test is self-containing and no dependency, it is a part of milestone to qualify MES ready,

indicating that it can deliver to other component especially during brinup. It is likely ring test and ib test indicating

gfx is ready to go. After totally transitioning to gfx user queue, mes unit test may be the only one unit test which

can indicate gfx is ready at the very early stage of bringup when UMD is not ready.


Alex and I are the maintainers of the driver who are deciding stuff like that and at least I don't really buy that argument. The ring, IB and benchmark tests are in the kernel module because they are simple.

If we have a complicated unit test like simulating creating an MES user queue to test the firmware functionality than that's really overkill. Especially when you need to allocate memory for it.

We previously had people requesting to add shader code and other complicated testing and rejected that as well because it just bloat up the kernel driver unnecessarily.

If we can modify the MES test to not abuse the amdgpu_ring structure only work with memory from the SA for example we could keep this, but not really in the current state.

Christian.

Hi Evan,

yeah, exactly that's what this warning should prevent. Allocating buffers temporary for stuff like that is illegal during resume.

I strongly suggest to just remove the MES test. It's abusing the kernel ring interface in a way we didn't want anyway and is currently replaced by Shahanks work.

Hi Jack,

 

Are you trying to fix the call trace popped up on resuming below?

It seems mes created some bo for its self test and freed it up later at the final stage of the resuming process.

All these happened before the in_suspend flag cleared. And that triggered the call trace.

Is my understanding correct?

               Why not? This is exactly what it should do.

 

[Jack] If freeing up resources during resume, it should not hit the issue you described. But only checking in_suspend flag would take these cases as warning.


No, once more: Freeing up or allocating resources between suspend and resume is illegal!

If you free up a resource during resume you should absolutely hit that, this is intentional!

Christian.

The in_suspend flag is set at the beginning of suspend and unset at the end of resume. It can’t filter the case you mentioned.


Why not? This is exactly what it should do.


Do you know the root cause of these cases hitting the issue? So that we can get an exact point to warn the freeing up behavior.


Well the root cause are programming errors. See between suspending and resuming you should not allocate nor free memory.

Otherwise we can run into trouble. And this check here is one part of that, we should probably add another warning during allocation of memory. But this here is certainly correct.

Regards,
Christian.

Jack

Nope, that is not related to any hw state.

It's simply not allowed to free up resources during suspend since those can't be acquired again during resume.

We had a couple of cases now where this was wrong. If you get a warning from that please fix the code which tried to free something during suspend instead.

Why? In my understanding, the limit was caused by DMA shutdown.

Big NAK to this! This warning is not related in any way to the hw state.

 

It's simply illegal to free up memory during suspend.
