That field is protected by > struct_mutex and being evaluated outside of that lock. If this can be called on objects involved in execbuf, without struct_mutex, then we already have a correctness problem of vma space (which is super tight on old platforms and rather much required to be well-managed because of that) being lost because concurrent threads thrash it instead of forming an orderly queue. And if that's not the case, and they do form an orderly queue, then there's no problem since even the as-needed-only orderly queue provided by ww_mutex will then be enough locking to keep this working. Aside: Yeah I think we need to re-add struct_mutex to the gtt fault path, the temporary pinning in there could easily starve execbuf on platforms where batches run in ggtt. Maybe also some other areas where we lost struct_mutex around temporary vma->pin_count elevations. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
