Yes, I have skipped the root PD, but the issue is still existed.

list_for_each_entry(bo_base, &vm->idle, vm_status) {
        struct amdgpu_bo *bo = bo_base->bo;

        if (!bo->parent)
                continue;

        ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->tbo, &vm->lru_bulk_move);
        if (bo->shadow)
                ttm_bo_move_to_lru_tail(&bo->shadow->tbo,
                                        &vm->lru_bulk_move);
}

Let me continue to narrow down this issue.
