Today I switched my workstation from 6.2 to 6.3-rc3 and started seeing
lots of new kernel messages:

[  642.138313][ T1751] nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: X[1751]: reloc wait_idle failed: 1500
[  642.138389][ T1751] nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: X[1751]: reloc apply: 1500
[  646.123490][ T1751] nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: X[1751]: reloc wait_idle failed: 1500
[  646.123573][ T1751] nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: X[1751]: reloc apply: 1500

The graphics seemed to go slower or hang a bit when these messages would
appear. I then found your patch! However, I have some comments about it.

First, it should include a fixes tag:

Fixes: 41d351f29528 ("drm/nouveau: stop using ttm_bo_wait")

This is incorrect for 2 reasons:

* it treats restarts as timeouts

* this function now returns >0 on success

> -		if (ret) {
>  			NV_PRINTK(err, cli, "reloc wait_idle failed: %ld\n",

I rearranged things to basically correctly translate the return code of
dma_resv_wait_timeout() to match the previous ttm_bo_wait():

		ret = dma_resv_wait_timeout(nvbo->bo.base.resv,
					    DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP,
					    false, 15 * HZ);
		if (ret == 0)
			ret = -EBUSY;
		if (ret > 0)
			ret = 0;
		if (ret) {
			NV_PRINTK(err, cli, "reloc wait_idle failed: %ld\n",
				  ret);
			break;
		}

So the patch just becomes:

@@ -708,6 +708,8 @@ nouveau_gem_pushbuf_reloc_apply(struct n
 					    false, 15 * HZ);
 		if (ret == 0)
 			ret = -EBUSY;
+		if (ret > 0)
+			ret = 0;
 		if (ret) {
 			NV_PRINTK(err, cli, "reloc wait_idle failed: %ld\n",
 				  ret);

With this variant, everything runs correctly on my workstation again.

It probably deserves a comment about why @ret is being translated. Or
perhaps a new variable should be introduced to separate the return value
of dma_resv_wait_timeout() from the return value of this function.

Either way, this is an important fix for 6.3-rc!
