[ml] agreed

[ml] so do you mean we should use NOP to fulfill the ring buffer instead of 0 ?

We should only call memset if amdgpu_bo_kmap succeeded. Same issue in patch 2.

The GPU should only read data from ring buffers and IBs that we previously explicitly wrote there. I'm afraid these patches might just paper over bugs elsewhere, which might still bite us under different circumstances.
