Yup, that's my understanding. But like with all things kernel, I'm not sure, so I tried to come up with some annotations. One of them is the memory allocation stuff, but it also did find the modeset/dc related issues in tdr/gpu recovery, so I think overall it's fairly sound. But the memory side definitely needs more discussion (like really the entire thing I'm proposing here, hence rfc). My rough hope here is that first we figure out the exact current semantics and nail them down in lockdep annotations and kerneldoc. And then we need to figure out how to step-by-step land this, since lots of drivers will have smaller and bigger issues all over. I tried to backsearch our CI for the memory allocation issue specifically, but unfortunately we're not retaining a whole lot of the full logs because it's so much. But the more general issue of taking locks somewhere in the path towards completing a fence (tail end of CS ioctl, scheduler, tdr, modeset code since that generates fences too for at least android, ...) that are also held while waiting for said fences to complete is fairly common. I've seen those way too often, and up to now lockdep is simply silent about them. > Indeed a nice problem, haven't noticed that one.
