Hi Felix,

See comments inline [Oak]

Hi Kent, there is one FYI embedded, so be careful when you merge this change back to kfd-staging branch.

Regards,
Oak

It would be more robust if this was done inside pqm_destroy_queue. That way you'd handle other potential code paths that destroy queues (not sure there are any) and you wouldn't need pqm_get_gws exported from PQM.

[Oak] Good idea. Will do it. Even though currently there is no other code path destroying a queue using gws, your way is safer for future code change.

Don't use pointers in ioctl structures. Use uint64_t. Accessing user mode pointers requires copy_to/from_user or similar.

Also prefer to move 64-bit elements to the first element to ensure proper alignment, and pad the structure to 64-bit for ABI compatibility.

I'm not sure what your plan is for that gws_array. If it's a pointer to a user mode array, then that array needs be allocated by user mode. And user mode should probably pass down the size of the array it allocated in another parameter.

That said, I think what we want is not an array, but just the index of the first GWS entry that was allocated for the queue, which is currently always 0. So I'm not sure why you're calling this an "array".

[Oak] For the current design, one queue always get all 64 GWS, so returning the index of the first GWS (0) is not a problem. In the future, is it possible queue can only allocate a few none-contiguous GWS, for example GWS3 and GWS56? If this is the case, we will have to copy an array of gws back to user space.

This will force us to move some ioctl numbers in amd-kfd-staging and the DKMS branch, which will break the ABI of our ROCm releases. Not sure there is a good way to avoid that other than leaving a whole in the upstream ioctl space. I got push-back on that kind of thing when I originally upstreamed KFD. So this is just an FYI.
[Oak] Yes, when we merge this changes back to amd-kfd-staging branch, we have to change the ioctl number for GWS allocation to 0x22, to accommodate extra kfd ioctls on kfd-staging branch. @Russell, Kent FYI
