I'm puzzled why you are confused. We now keep the BOs on the LRU while they are reserved, so on unreserve we now need to explicitly remove them from the LRU when they are pinned.
[Oak] When I read the description, I though you meant to remove bo from LRU on a pin action, but from codes, it is done on unreserve. In other words, it is better to say "if it is pinned" than "when it is pinned". Sorry being picky....Also from codes before your change, there was a condition "!(bo->mem.placement & TTM_PL_FLAG_NO_EVICT)". Is this condition to check whether bo is no pinned? How do you check whether bo is pinned in the new codes? To me condition " list_empty(&bo->lru)" only means this bo is currently not on LRU list, I am not sure whether this also means it is not pinned. Also, can ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail be replaced with ttm_bo_del_from_lru - from your description, this is more like a function to remove it from LRU. Sorry too many questions. I really don't know the context here...

This test specifically triggers interactions between KFD and graphics under memory pressure. It's something we rarely see in real world compute application testing without a targeted test. But when it breaks it leads to some painful intermittent failures that are hard to regress and debug.

Cat amdgpu_evict_gtt in debugfs is a good test for this.
