My dma-fence lockdep annotations caught an inversion because we

	amdgpu_ib_schedule+0x306/0x550 [amdgpu]

	drm_sched_main+0x1b9/0x490 [gpu_sched]
	kthread+0x12e/0x150

Trouble right now is that lockdep only validates against GFP_FS, which
would be good enough for shrinkers. But for mmu_notifiers we actually
need !GFP_ATOMIC, since they can be called from any page laundering,
even if GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO are set.

I guess we should improve the lockdep annotations for
fs_reclaim_acquire/release.

Ofc real fix is to properly preallocate this fence and stuff it into
the amdgpu job structure. But GFP_ATOMIC gets the lockdep splat out of
the way.

v2: Two more allocations in scheduler paths.

Frist one:

	__kmalloc+0x58/0x720
	amdgpu_vmid_grab+0x100/0xca0 [amdgpu]
	amdgpu_job_dependency+0xf9/0x120 [amdgpu]
	drm_sched_entity_pop_job+0x3f/0x440 [gpu_sched]
	drm_sched_main+0xf9/0x490 [gpu_sched]

Second one:

	kmem_cache_alloc+0x2b/0x6d0
	amdgpu_sync_fence+0x7e/0x110 [amdgpu]
	amdgpu_vmid_grab+0x86b/0xca0 [amdgpu]
	amdgpu_job_dependency+0xf9/0x120 [amdgpu]
	drm_sched_entity_pop_job+0x3f/0x440 [gpu_sched]
	drm_sched_main+0xf9/0x490 [gpu_sched]

Has anyone from amd side started looking into how to fix this properly?

Yeah I checked both and neither are any real problem.

I looked a bit into fixing this with mempool, and the big guarantee we
need is that
- there's a hard upper limit on how many allocations we minimally need to
   guarantee forward progress. And the entire vmid allocation and
   amdgpu_sync_fence stuff kinda makes me question that's a valid
   assumption.

We do have hard upper limits for those.

The VMID allocation could as well just return the fence instead of putting it into the sync object IIRC. So that just needs some cleanup and can avoid the allocation entirely.

The hardware fence is limited by the number of submissions we can have concurrently on the ring buffers, so also not a problem at all.

Regards,
Christian.


- mempool_free must be called without any locks in the way which are held
   while we call mempool_alloc. Otherwise we again have a nice deadlock
   with no forward progress. I tried auditing that, but got lost in amdgpu
   and scheduler code. Some lockdep annotations for mempool.c might help,
   but they're not going to catch everything. Plus it would be again manual
   annotations because this is yet another cross-release issue. So not sure
   that helps at all.

iow, not sure what to do here. Ideas?

Cheers, Daniel
