Hi Christian

I prepared this patch because we met a page fault after gpu reset in SRIOV triggered by quark.
After investigation, I found that the page table did not get restored after gpu reset.
I just tried to use vm_update_mode=0 to disable VM update by CPU, and this issue still exists.

-[Christian] When VRAM is lost any submission using the VM entity will fail and so result in a new page table generation.
I believe that you are referring this piece of code in function amdgpu_job_run():
        /* Skip job if VRAM is lost and never resubmit gangs */
        if (job->generation != amdgpu_vm_generation(adev, job->vm) ||
            (job->job_run_counter && job->gang_submit))
                dma_fence_set_error(finished, -ECANCELED);

I agree that the submission from the old ctx will be set as ECANCELED and be skipped.
But if the application then creates a new ctx and submit a new job, both new_ctx->generation and new_job->generation will be initiated as the updated one.
        ctx->generation = amdgpu_vm_generation(mgr->adev, &fpriv->vm);
        (*job)->generation = amdgpu_vm_generation(adev, vm);
And the job will be executed, hence there will be a page fault due to VRAM lost.

Please correct me if I have some misunderstanding.
I still can not see why any submission using the VM entity will fail due to VRAM lost.

Best,
Zhenguo

I've just double checked the logic again and as far as I can see this patch here is still completely superfluous.

When VRAM is lost any submission using the VM entity will fail and so result in a new page table generation.

What isn't handled are CPU based page table updates, but for those we could potentially change the condition inside the CPU page tables code.

Christian.
