Currently amdgpu calls drm_sched_fini() from the fence driver sw fini routine - such function is expected to be called only after the respective init function - drm_sched_init() - was executed successfully. Happens that we faced a driver probe failure in the Steam Deck recently, and the function drm_sched_fini() was called even without its counter-part had been previously called, causing the following oops: amdgpu: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -110 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000090 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 609 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 6.2.0-rc3-gpiccoli #338 Hardware name: Valve Jupiter/Jupiter, BIOS F7A0113 11/04/2022 RIP: 0010:drm_sched_fini+0x84/0xa0 [gpu_sched] [...] Call Trace: <TASK> amdgpu_fence_driver_sw_fini+0xc8/0xd0 [amdgpu] amdgpu_device_fini_sw+0x2b/0x3b0 [amdgpu] amdgpu_driver_release_kms+0x16/0x30 [amdgpu] devm_drm_dev_init_release+0x49/0x70 [...] To prevent that, check if the drm_sched was properly initialized for a given ring before calling its fini counter-part. Notice ideally we'd use sched.ready for that; such field is set as the latest thing on drm_sched_init(). But amdgpu seems to "override" the meaning of such field - in the above oops for example, it was a GFX ring causing the crash, and the sched.ready field was set to true in the ring init routine, regardless of the state of the DRM scheduler. Hence, we ended-up using another sched field.

Piccoli <gpiccoli@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi folks, first of all thanks in advance for reviews / comments! Notice that I've used the Fixes tag more in the sense to bring it to stable, I didn't find a good patch candidate that added the call to drm_sched_fini(), was reaching way too old commits...so 067f44c8b459 seems a good candidate - or maybe not? Now, with regards sched.ready, spent a bit of time to figure what was happening...would be feasible maybe to stop using that to mark some kind ring status? I think it should be possible to add a flag to the ring structure for that, and free sched.ready from being manipulate by the amdgpu driver, what's your thoughts on that? I could try myself, but first of course I'd like to raise the "temperature" on this topic and check if somebody is already working on that.
