TDR and VRAM lost handling in KMD:

But if we keep counter in entity, there is one issue I suddenly though of :
For regular user context, after vram lost UMD will aware this context is LOST since we have a counter copy in context, so user space can close it and re-create one
But for kernel entity, since no U/K interface, so it is kernel's responsibility to recover this kernel entity to work, that make things complicated ....
Emm, I agree that keep a copy in context and in job is a good move

What? I remember even the VM update job is with a kernel entity, (no context is true), and if entity can keep a counter copy That can solve your concerns

Subject: Re: TDR and VRAM lost handling in KMD:
Some jobs don't have a context (VM updates, clears, buffer moves).
I would still like to abort those when they where issued before a losing VRAM content, but keep the entity usable.
So I think we should just keep a copy of the VRAM lost counter in the job. That also removes us from the burden of figuring out the context during job run.
Regards,
Christian.
