Hi Guchun,

no, that doesn't make any sense at all.

The ready flag indicates that the scheduler is fully prepared for hw submissions from userspace and is unrelated to the initialization status. It's set to true after IB testing was successful and only set to false only when a GPU reset fails and we can't get the hardware to work any more.

Please use sched.ops instead as I suggested before.

Regards,
Christian.

Hi Christian,

Do you think if it makes sense that we can set 'ring->sched.ready' to be true 
in each ring init, even if before executing/setting up drm_sched_init in 
amdgpu_device_init_schedulers? As 'ready' is a member of gpu scheduler structure.

Regards,
Guchun

Hi Piccoli,

Please ignore my request of full dmesg log. I can reproduce the issue and get 
the same failure callstack by returning early with an error code prior to 
amdgpu_device_init_schedulers.

Hi Piccoli,

I agree with Alex's point, using ring->sched.name for such check is not a good 
way. BTW, can you please attach a full dmesg long in bad case to help me 
understand more?

Regards,
Guchun

Happens that we faced a driver probe failure in the Steam Deck
recently, and the function drm_sched_fini() was called even without
its counter-part had been previously called, causing the following oops:

To prevent that, check if the drm_sched was properly initialized for
a given ring before calling its fini counter-part.

Notice ideally we'd use sched.ready for that; such field is set as
the latest thing on drm_sched_init(). But amdgpu seems to "override"
the meaning of such field - in the above oops for example, it was a
GFX ring causing the crash, and the sched.ready field was set to
true in the ring init routine, regardless of the state of the DRM scheduler. 
Hence, we ended-up using another sched field.

Hi folks, first of all thanks in advance for reviews / comments!
Notice that I've used the Fixes tag more in the sense to bring it to
stable, I didn't find a good patch candidate that added the call to
drm_sched_fini(), was reaching way too old commits...so
067f44c8b459 seems a good candidate - or maybe not?

Now, with regards sched.ready, spent a bit of time to figure what
was happening...would be feasible maybe to stop using that to mark
some kind ring status? I think it should be possible to add a flag
to the ring structure for that, and free sched.ready from being
manipulate by the amdgpu driver, what's your thoughts on that?
It's been a while, but IIRC, we used to have a ring->ready field in the driver 
which at some point got migrated out of the driver into the GPU scheduler and the 
driver side code never got cleaned up.  I think we should probably just drop the 
driver messing with that field and leave it up to the drm scheduler.
To use ring->ready is not a good idea since this doesn't specify if the 
scheduler was initialized, but rather if bringup of the engine worked.

It's perfectly possible that the scheduler was initialized, but then the IB 
test failed later on.

I strongly suggest to use scheduler->ops instead since those are set during 
init and mandatory for correct operation.

Christian.

Alex


I could try myself, but first of course I'd like to raise the
"temperature" on this topic and check if somebody is already working
on that.

Cheers,

Guilherme
