We've fixed many races in panfrost_job_timedout() but some remain.
Instead of trying to fix it again, let's simplify the logic and move
the reset bits to a separate work scheduled when one of the queue
reports a timeout.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't work out what setting

AFAICT the only time this return will be hit is in the following case:

CPU 0                     |  CPU 1
--------------------------+-------------------
job_timedout()            |
panfrost_reset()          |
   ...                      | job_timedout()
   - atomic_set(pending, 0) | ...
                            | if (!atomic_read()) - returns early

AFAICT a work can only be scheduled on one workqueue, IOW, it can't run
on 2 CPUs simultaneously, and your example seems to imply that it can
(both 'atomic_set(pending, 0)' and 'if (!atomic_read()) - returns
early' are done in the reset handler).

Ah, I knew I was missing something! You're right, by default a work cannot simulatenously run on two CPUs.


However, reordering that a little we can see it can fail:

CPU 0                     |  CPU 1
--------------------------+-------------------
job_timedout()            |
   ...                      |
panfrost_reset()          |
   ...                      | job_timedout()
   ...                      | panfrost_reset()
   ...                      | if (atomic_read()) - doesn't return early
   - atomic_set(pending, 0) | ...

I don't see anything which prevents the second scenario, so this pending
flag doesn't seem to be stopping any race condition.

What am I missing?

The pending state is just here to overcome the lack of cancel_work():
if we schedule a reset while the reset handler is running, this handler
will be called again just after it returns, but we only need to reset
the GPU again if the timeout handler scheduled the reset work after the
GPU has been reset and queues have been restarted.

Got it.


I would have expected something more along the lines of:

	/* Schedule a reset */
	if (atomic_cmpxchg(&pfdev->reset.pending, 0, 1)) {
		/* Reset already in progress */
		return;
	}
	schedule_work(&pfdev->reset.work);

What do you think?

That would work too, and allows us to get rid of the atomic_read() in
the reset handler. I'll go for this version. This being said, I'm pretty
sure my version was safe too ;-).

Yes, I think you're right. Somehow I'd got it into my head that it must be a race between CPUs in the reset worker that you were trying to solve.


Also FYI I applied this on top of my panfrost-dev branch and managed to
hit the following splat. I haven't yet got to the bottom of it, so it
might well be an unrelated bug. At first glance this looks like the job
is managing to outlive the MMU context it's tied to.

Hm, I think I don't see those because I have "drm/panfrost: Make sure
MMU context lifetime is not bound to panfrost_priv" applied. We should
really work on a proper fix for that problem, or maybe apply the
proposed fix until we have time to work on a better solution.

Yes, a bit of investigation showed that my hack for the same problem was tripped up by the deferring of the reset onto a workqueue. So the problem was just that my hack wasn't complete.

As I see it there are basically two options: extend the MMU context lifetime (see your fix above) or block the close of a scheduler entity until all it's jobs have finished (see [1] for my hackish attempt).

I'm somewhat puzzled how other drivers handle this safely. Killing off the jobs before closing the context seems logical, but the DRM scheduler doesn't seem to provide support for that. Extending the MMU context lifetime works, but has the unfortunate side-effect of keeping zombie jobs running for a short while after the process owning them has gone.
