This is the reason why I want to change the routine be atomic. After check the register spec again , I found that the TLB invalidation and HDP coherency cntl register are safe to use in the VFs and in current code we already try to avoid use KIQ in TLB flush function by directly program the TLB invalidate registers but just missed one place on HDP flush . So I think it ‘s better to fix the HDP flush code and leave current KIQ code un-touched . <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> Shaoyun.liu<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> From: Liu, Monk Sent: Monday, July 03, 2017 5:45 AM To: Liu, Shaoyun; Christian König; Michel Dänzer Cc: <a href="mailto:amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org">amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org</a> Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Make KIQ read/write register routine be atomic<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div id="x_divtagdefaultwrapper"> Hi Shaoyun <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> looks you want to make KIQ reg access be atomic & UN-interruptible,<o:p></o:p> I think most user of KIQ reg access is not in atomic context, so your patch only benefit for the place using KIQ from IRQ.<o:p></o:p> why not implement another KIQ reg access function ? e.g. :<o:p></o:p> <div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> amdgpu_virt_kiq_rreg_atomic(...);<o:p></o:p> amdgpu_virt_kiq_wreg_atomic(...);<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> that way you can satisfy your requirement and not introduce unknown issue for other places that calling original virt_kiq_r/weg() function.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> because busy polling have chance to hang cpu in SR-IOV (imagine 16 VF, and many VF doing FLR one by one, your busy polling may let guest kernel cpu stuck in ATOMIC_CONTEXT for more than 5 seconds )<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> BR Monk<o:p></o:p> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"> <hr size="2" width="98%" align="center"> </div> <div id="x_divRplyFwdMsg"> From: amd-gfx <<a href="mailto:amd-gfx-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org">amd-gfx-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org</a>> on behalf of Liu, Shaoyun <<a href="mailto:Shaoyun.Liu@amd.com">Shaoyun.Liu@amd.com</a>> Sent: Friday, June 30, 2017 10:55:39 PM To: Christian König; Michel Dänzer Cc: <a href="mailto:amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org">amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org</a> Subject: RE: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Make KIQ read/write register routine be atomic <o:p></o:p> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </div> <div> Hi , Christian The new code actually will not use the fence function , it just need a memory that expose both CPU and GPU address .
