Today I switched my workstation from 6.2 to 6.3-rc3 and started seeing
lots of new kernel messages:
[ 642.138313][ T1751] nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: X[1751]: reloc wait_idle failed:
1500

The graphics seemed to go slower or hang a bit when these messages would
appear. I then found your patch! However, I have some comments about it.
First, it should include a fixes tag:

This is incorrect for 2 reasons:
* it treats restarts as timeouts
* this function now returns >0 on success

I rearranged things to basically correctly translate the return code of
dma_resv_wait_timeout() to match the previous ttm_bo_wait():
ret = dma_resv_wait_timeout(nvbo->bo.base.resv,
DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP,
false, 15 * HZ);
if (ret == 0)
ret = -EBUSY;
if (ret > 0)
ret = 0;
if (ret) {
NV_PRINTK(err, cli, "reloc wait_idle failed: %ld\n",
ret);
break;
}
So the patch just becomes:
@@ -708,6 +708,8 @@ nouveau_gem_pushbuf_reloc_apply(struct n
false, 15 * HZ);
if (ret == 0)
ret = -EBUSY;
+ if (ret > 0)
+ ret = 0;
if (ret) {
NV_PRINTK(err, cli, "reloc wait_idle failed: %ld\n",
ret);
With this variant, everything runs correctly on my workstation again.
It probably deserves a comment about why @ret is being translated. Or
perhaps a new variable should be introduced to separate the return value
of dma_resv_wait_timeout() from the return value of this function.
Either way, this is an important fix for 6.3-rc!
