Is a single legacy flush sufficient to emulate an heavyweight flush as well?

On previous generations we needed to issue at least two legacy flushes for this.
I assume you are referring to the Vega20 XGMI workaround. That is a very different issue. Because PTEs would be cached in L2, we had to always use a heavy-weight flush that would also flush the L2 cache as well, and follow that with another legacy flush to deal with race conditions where stale PTEs could be re-fetched from L2 before the L2 flush was complete.

No, we also have another (badly documented) workaround which issues a legacy flush before each heavy weight on some hw generations. See the my TLB flush cleanup patches.


A heavy-weight flush guarantees that there are no more possible memory accesses using the old PTEs. With physically addressed caches on GFXv9 that includes a cache flush because the address translation happened before putting data into the cache. I think the address translation and cache architecture works differently on GFXv10. So maybe the cache-flush is not required here.

But even then a legacy flush probably allows for in-flight memory accesses with old physical addresses to complete after the TLB flush. So there is a small risk of memory corruption that was assumed to not be accessed by the GPU any more. Or when using IOMMU device isolation it would result in IOMMU faults if the DMA mappings are invalidated slightly too early.

Mhm, that's quite bad. Any idea how to avoid that?

A few ideas

 * Add an arbitrary delay and hope that it is longer than the FIFOs in
   the HW
 * Execute an atomic operation to memory on some GPU engine that could
   act as a fence, maybe just a RELEASE_MEM on the CP to some writeback
   location would do the job
 * If needed, RELEASE_MEM could also perform a cache flush
