Felix, your summary is correct. The reason we are trying to perform a queue unmap/map cycle as part of the PC sampling stop is to prevent the following:

1. A PC sampling request arrives to Wave X, sending it to 1st-level trap handler
2. User thread asks KFD to stop sampling for this process, which leads to kfd_pc_sample_stop()
3. kfd_pc_sample_stop() decrements the sampling refcent. If this is the last process to stop sampling, it stops any further sampling traps from being generated
4. kfd_pc_sample_stop() sets this process's TMA flag to false so waves in the 1st-level trap handler know sampling is disabled
    4.1. Wave X may be in 1st-level handler and not yet checked the TMA flag. If so, it will exit the 1st-level handler when it sees flag is false
    4.2. Wave X may have already passed the 1st-level TMA flag check and entered the 2nd-level trap handler to do the PC sample
5. kfd_pc_sample_stop() returns, eventually causing ioctl to return, back to user-space
6. Because the stop ioctl has returned, user-land deallocates user-space buffer the 2nd level trap handler uses to output sample data
7. Wave X that was in the 2nd-level handler tries to finish its sample output and writes to the now-freed location, causing a use-after-free

Note that Step 3 does not always stop further traps from arriving -- if another process still wants to do sampling, the driver or HW might still send traps to every wave on the device after Step 3.
As such, to avoid going into the 2nd-level handler for non-sampled processes, all 1st-level handlers must check their TMA flag to see if they should allow the sample to flow to the 2nd-level handler.

By removing the queue from the HW after Step 4, we can be sure that any existing waves from this process that entered the PC sampling 2nd-level handler before Step 4 are done.
Any waves that were still in the 1st-level handler at Step 4.1 will be filtered by the TMA flag being set to false. CWSR will wait until they exit.
Any waves that were already in the 2nd-level handler (4.2) must complete before the CWSR save will complete and allow this queue removal request to complete.
Any waves that enter the 1st-level trap handler after Step 4 won't go into the PC sampling logic in the 2nd-level handler because the TMA flag is set to false. CWSR will wait until they exit.

When we then put the queue back on the hardware, any further traps that might show up (e.g. because another process is sampling) will get filtered by the TMA flag.

So once the queue removal (and thus CWSR save cycle) has completed, we can be sure that no other traps to this process will try to use its PC sample data buffer, so it's safe to return to user-space and let them potentially free that buffer.

I don't know how to summarize this nicely in a comment, but hopefully y'all can figure that out. :)

Thanks,
-Joe
