TDR and VRAM lost handling in KMD (v2)

Hi team
Very good, many policy and implement are agreed, looks we only have some arguments in amdgpu_ctx_query(), well I also confused with the current implement of it, ☹
First, I want to know if you guys agree that we don't update ctx->reset_counter in amdgpu_ctx_query() ? because I want to make the query result always consistent upon a given context,
Second, I want to say that for KERNEL, it shouldn't use the term from MESA or OGL or VULKAN, e.g. kernel shouldn't use AMDGPU_INNOCENT_RESET to map to GL_INNOCENT_RESET_ARB, etc...
Because that way kernel will be very limited to certain UMD, so I suggest we totally re-name the context status, and each UMD has its own way to map the kernel context's result to gl-context/vk-context/etc…
Kernel should only provide below *FLAG bits* on a given context:
• Define AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_GUILTY 0x1 //as long as TDR detects a job hang, KMD set the context behind this context as "guilty"
• Define AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_VRAMLOST 0x2 //as long as there is a VRAM lost event hit after this context created, we mark this context "VRAM_LOST", so UMD can say that all BO under this context may lost their content, since kernel have no relationship between context and BO so this is UMD's call to judge if a BO considered "VRAM lost" or not.
• Define AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_RESET 0x3 //as long as there is a gpu reset occurred after context creation, this flag shall be set
Sample code:
Int amdgpu_ctx_query(struct amdgpu_ctx_query_parm * out, …..) {
if (ctx- >vram_lost_counter != adev->vram_lost_counter)
out- >status |= AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_VRAM_LOST;
if (ctx- >reset_counter != adev→reset_counter) {
out- >status |= AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_RESET;
if (ctx- >guilty == TRUE)
out- >status |= AMDGPU_CTX_STATE_GUILTY;
}
return 0;
}
For UMD if it found "out.status == 0" means there is no gpu reset even occurred, the context is totally regular,
• A new IOCTL added for context:
Void amdgpu_ctx_reinit(){
Ctx→vram_lost_counter = adev→vram_lost_counter;
Ctx→reset_counter = adev→reset_counter;
}
if UMD decide *not* to release the "guilty" context but continue using it after UMD acknowledged GPU hang on certain job/context, I suggest UMD call "amdgpu_ctx_reinit()":
That way after you re-init() this context, you can get updated result from "amdgpu_ctx_query", which will probably give you "out.status == 0" as long as no gpu reset/vram lost hit after re-init().

Yes, that's what I had in mind as well.
Cause otherwise we would return AMDGPU_CTX_NO_RESET while there actually was a reset and that certainly doesn't sound correct to me.
