Hi, Felix,

Re: It may be better to fix it the other way around in amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_gtt_mem. Always take the reset_sem inside the reservation. Otherwise you will never be able to take the reset_sem while any BOs are reserved. That's probably going to cause you other problems later.
[Dennis Li] Thanks that you find the potential issue, I will change it in version 2.

Re: That makes me wonder, why do you need the reset_sem in amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_gtt_mem in the first place? There is no obvious hardware access in that function. Is it for amdgpu_ttm_alloc_gart updating the GART table through HDP?
[Dennis Li] Yes, amdgpu_gart_bind will flush HDP and TLB. I have considered to only protect amdgpu_ttm_alloc_gart before. But I worry other functions will access hardware in the future. Therefore I select an aggressive approach which lock reset_sem at the beginning of entry functions of amdgpu driver.

Best Regards
Dennis Li

It may be better to fix it the other way around in amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_gtt_mem. Always take the reset_sem inside the reservation. Otherwise you will never be able to take the reset_sem while any BOs are reserved. That's probably going to cause you other problems later.
