Well NAK, that brings back a callback we worked quite hard on getting rid
of.

It looks like the problem isn't that you need the preclose callback, but you
rather seem to misunderstood how TTM works.

All you need to do is to cleanup your command submission path so that the
caller of lima_sched_context_queue_task() adds the resulting scheduler fence
to TTMs buffer objects.
You mean adding the finished dma fence to the buffer's reservation object then
waiting it before unmap the buffer from GPU VM in the drm_release()'s buffer
close callback?

That is one possibility, but also not necessary.

TTM has a destroy callback which is called from a workqueue when all fences on that BOs have signaled.

Depending on your VM management you can use it to delay unmapping the buffer until it is actually not used any more.

Adding fence is done already, and I did wait it before unmap. But then
I see when
the buffer is shared between processes, the "perfect wait" is just
wait the fence
from this process's task, so it's better to also distinguish fences.
If so, I just think
why we don't just wait tasks from this process in the preclose before unmap/free
buffer in the drm_release()?

Well it depends on your VM management. When userspace expects that the VM space the BO used is reusable immediately than the TTM callback won't work.

On the other hand you can just grab the list of fences on a BO and filter out the ones from your current process and wait for those. See amdgpu_sync_resv() as an example how to do that.

Christian.

This reverts commit 45c3d213a400c952ab7119f394c5293bb6877e6b.

lima driver need preclose to wait all task in the context
created within closing file to finish before free all the
buffer object. Otherwise pending tesk may fail and get
noisy MMU fault message.

Move this wait to each buffer object free function can
achieve the same result but some buffer object is shared
with other file context, but we only want to wait the
closing file context's tasks. So the implementation is
not that straight forword compared to the preclose one.
