If amdgpu_vm_ready() use evicting flag, it's still not equivalent to check
vm idle: true -> vm idle, false -> vm may be idle or busy.
Yeah, but why should that be relevant?
The amdgpu_vm_ready() return if we can do page table updates or not. If
the VM is idle or not is only relevant for eviction.
In other words any CS or page table update makes the VM busy, but that
only affects if the VM can be evicted or not.
My point is: we can't use amdgpu_vm_ready() to replace vm_is_busy(), so
currently we update vm even when vm is busy. So why not use:
if (!amdgpu_vm_ready() || vm_is_busy()) return;
in amdgpu_gem_va_update_vm(), as you mentioned we prefer to not
update vm when it's idle.
Because updating the VM while it is busy is perfectly fine, we do it all
the time.
We should just not update it when it is already idle and was considered
for eviction. In this situation it makes most of the time sense to keep
it idle and postpone the update till the next command submission.
Then we can keep the evicting flag accurate (after solving your
concern for this patch that eviction may fail latter by further delay
the flag update after eviction success).
That won't work. See we need to mark the VM as evicted before we
actually evict them because otherwise somebody could use the VM in
parallel and add another fence to it.
I see, make this too accurate should cost too much like holding the
eviction_lock when eviction. But just delay it in
amdgpu_ttm_bo_eviction_valuable()
could avoid most false positive case.
Partially correct. Another fundamental problem is that we can't hold the
eviction lock because that would result in lock inversion and potential
deadlock.
We could set the flag later on, but as I said before that when we set
the evicted flag when the VM is already idle is a desired effect.
As above, this confuse me as we can explicitly check vm idle when
user update vm, why bother to embed it in evicting flag implicitly?
Well as I said it's irrelevant for the update if the VM is idle or not.
To summarize the rules once more:
1. When VM page tables are used by CS or page tables updates it is
considered busy, e.g. not idle.
2. When we want to evict a VM it must be idle. As soon as we considered
this we should set the evicted flag to make sure to keep it idle as much
as possible.
3. When we want to update the page tables we just need to check if the
VM is idle or not.
4. When a CS happens we don't have another chance and make the VM busy
again. And do all postponed page table updates.

Christian.
Check vm idle need to hold resv lock. Read your patch for adding
evicting flag is to update vm without resv lock. But user vm ops in
amdgpu_gem_va_update_vm() do hold the resv lock, so the difference
happens when calling amdgpu_vm_bo_update_mapping() from
svm_range_(un)map_to_gpu(). So embed vm idle in evicting flag
is for svm_range_(un)map_to_gpu() also do nothing when vm idle?

What we should rather do is to fix amdgpu_vm_ready() to take a look at
the flag instead of the linked list.
