Hi Christian

Thanks for sharing,
Do you further know why we need recoverable page faults ? is it prepared for 
PRT (or something like kernel page fault handling on CPU/MMU side)?

For SRIOV, in theoretically any feature*not* related with hardware scheduling 
(MES) or OS preemption (buggy with world switch preemption) is welcome to 
SR-IOV, no reason 
Not to support it as far as I know, unless not mature enough to enable it

Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: disable page queue on Vega10 SR-IOV VF

Hi guys,

this is necessary for recoverable page fault handling.

When the normal SDMA queue is blocked because of a page fault the SDMA firmware 
will switch to the paging queue so that we are able to handle the fault.

In general it should work on all Vega (but not Raven) components and we are 
going to need it when we enable recoverable page faults.

The only case I can see where we don't immediately need it is SRIOV, because 
the current planning is to not support recoverable page faults there.

Christian.
