A dynamic partition switch could happen later.  The switch could still be successful in terms of hardware,
[JZ] Only ignore render node assignment, and remove visibility in user space, xcp continues to be generated as usual. so switch should work as usual

Switch is not useful for the user unless the apps can make use of the render nodes. A 'success' from hardware perspective doesn't turn out to be a 'success' for users eventually to make use of the extra partition.
[JZ] Yes, After switch, app can use the render nodes (no more than 64 nodes in one system), Like 8P MI300X CPX mode,  with no external VGA device,all 64 nodes can be used. with one  external VGA device, 63 nodes can be used.

and hence gives a false feeling of success even if there are no render nodes available for any app to make use of the partition.
[JZ] from driver prospective, the switch is real success, treat the last one harvested in user space.. there is warning in kernel log, and final solution for more than 64 nodes is on-going

The render nodes are allocated during driver load and the message will go unnoticed. We could still allow the switch, but the message should be there during a partition switch like 'only x/y (x out of y nodes) are usable'. The worst case is - only 1 out of N meaning no benefit - and in that case user may switch back to normal mode to make use of full compute power.


Also, a kfd node is not expected to have a valid xcp pointer on devices without partition.
[JZ] won't affect xcp pointer, only ddev.
This access could break then gpu->xcp->ddev.
[JZ] added skip when ddev==NULL

What I meant is xcp in kfd node could be NULL on SOCs like NV series. There should be a check for xcp before accessing ddev - https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.5-rc5/source/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_device.c#L794
[JZ] So it is potential bug before this patch. then we need review current code to add all necessary xcp check.

Return 0 when drm device alloc failed with -ENOSPC in
order to  allow amdgpu drive loading. But the xcp without
drm device node assigned won't be visiable in user space.
This helps amdgpu driver loading on system which has more
than 64 nodes, the current limitation.

The proposal to add more drm nodes is discussed in public,
which will support up to 2^20 nodes totally.
