Felix needs to decide that. From what I understand the KFD needs heavyweight flushes for secure SVM operation.

If heavyweight flushes are buggy papering over that by using legacy flushes is only a mediocre workaround.

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
