Thanks!  Could you please take an example of trouble  “This way we avoid a bunch of trouble when one process drops the VMID reservation and another one grabs it.”?

Thanks
Jacob

It would be better if we could do that asynchronously with a register
write on the ring.
Sorry, I don’t get your point. Could you please elaborate more?

You pass the ring from amdgpu_vm_flush() to the *_update_spm_vmid() functions.

And then instead of using WREG32() you call amdgpu_ring_emit_wreg() to make the write asynchronously on the ring buffer using a CP command.

This way we avoid a bunch of trouble when one process drops the VMID reservation and another one grabs it.

Regards,
Christian.



Thanks

It would be better if we could do that asynchronously with a register
write on the ring.

The alternative is that we block for the VM to be idle in
amdgpu_vm_ioctl() before unreserving the VMID.

In other words lock the reservation object of the root PD and call
amdgpu_vm_wait_idle() before calling amdgpu_vmid_free_reserved().

Regards,
Christian.
