Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] drm/sched: Fix teardown leaks with waitqueue
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 10:27:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522082742.148191-3-phasta@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250522082742.148191-2-phasta@kernel.org>
From: Philipp Stanner <pstanner@redhat.com>
The GPU scheduler currently does not ensure that its pending_list is
empty before performing various other teardown tasks in
drm_sched_fini().
If there are still jobs in the pending_list, this is problematic because
after scheduler teardown, no one will call backend_ops.free_job()
anymore. This would, consequently, result in memory leaks.
One way to solve this is to implement a waitqueue that drm_sched_fini()
blocks on until the pending_list has become empty. That waitqueue must
obviously not block for a significant time. Thus, it's necessary to only
wait if it's guaranteed that all fences will get signaled quickly.
This can be ensured by having the driver implement a new backend ops,
cancel_pending_fences(), in which the driver shall signal all
unsignaled, in-flight fences with an error.
Add a waitqueue to struct drm_gpu_scheduler. Wake up waiters once the
pending_list becomes empty. Wait in drm_sched_fini() for that to happen
if cancel_pending_fences() is implemented.
