Call to flush on old fw is a NOP so it's harmless in that case.
Full solution will still require a new MES version as this is a workaround on corner cases and not a new feature i.e. we can't stop ROCm from running on old fw.
The process address is always valid from the driver side.  It's the MES side of things that gets stale as mentioned in the description (passed value to MES is reused with new BO but MES doesn't refresh).
i.e. MES auto refreshes it's process list assuming process queues were all drained but driver can't guarantee that SET_SHADER_DEBUGGER (which adds to MES's process list) will get called after queues get added (in fact it's a requirements that it can be called at any time).
We can attempt to defer calls these calls in the KFD, considering all cases.
But that would be a large shift in debugger/runtime_enable/KFD code, which is already complicated and could get buggy plus it would not be intuitive at all as to why we're doing this.
I think a single flag set to flush MES on process termination is a simpler compromise that shows the limitation in a more obvious way.

Thanks,

Jon
