What I meant was that the original code would not always set bo_va->base.moved = false (it's done a few lines above this under some conditions, but not always). The new code will always set bo_va->base.moved = false inside amdgpu_vm_bo_idle.

Felix

No, it is still possible that the mapping of the BO was never updated
because the VM page tables where evicted.
We still need to make sure that all BOs of the current submission are
updated correctly.

Correct, yes.

Using list_add is minimal more efficient.

Good point, probably best if I split up the moved list into per VM BOs
and all other BOs.
That should make the locking much more clear.
