From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limoncie...@amd.com>

commit 2965e6355dcd ("drm/amd: Add Suspend/Hibernate notification
callback support") introduced a VRAM eviction earlier in the PM
sequences when swap was still available for evicting to. This helped
to fix a number of memory pressure related bugs but also exposed a
new one.

If a userspace process is actively using the GPU when suspend starts
then a deadlock could occur.

Instead of going off the prepare notifier, use the PM notifiers that
occur after processes have been frozen to do evictions.

Why do you need a notifier for this?

It looks like this could be done from amdgpu_device_prepare(), but if
there is a reason why it cannot be done from there, it should be
mentioned in the changelog.

It's actually done in amdgpu_device_prepare() "as well" already, but the
reason that it's being done earlier is because swap still needs to be
available, especially with heavy memory fragmentation.

Swap should be still available when amdgpu_device_prepare() runs.

No; it's not.  The basic call trace (for suspend) looks like this:

enter_state(state) {
    suspend_prepare(state);
    ...
    pm_restrict_gfp_mask();  // disable swap
    suspend_devices_and_enter(state) → dpm_suspend_start() {
        dpm_prepare() {
            amdgpu_pmops_prepare();
        }
        dpm_suspend() {
            amdgpu_pmops_suspend();
        }
    }
}

If the intention was for it to be available, it would be better to move the pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call "into" suspend_devices_and_enter() between dpm_prepare() and dpm_suspend() calls.


I'll add more detail about this to the commit for the next spin if
you're relatively happy with the new notifier from the first patch.

I need to have a look at it, but adding it for just one user seems a
bit over the top.  I'd prefer to avoid doing this.
