回复: [PATCH v2] drm/amdgpu: Fix a race of IB test

yep, that is a lazy way to fix it.

I am thinking of adding one amdgpu_ring.direct_access_mutex before we issue test_ib on each ring.

There are many ioctls and debugfs calls which takes this lock and as you
know the purpose is to avoid them while there is a reset. The purpose is
*not to* fix any concurrency issues those calls themselves have
otherwise and fixing those concurrency issues this way is just lazy and
not acceptable.

This will take away any fairness given to the writer in this rw lock and
that is supposed to be the reset thread.

Thanks,
