[PATCH 3/5] drm/amdgpu/userq: bound the eviction fence rearm retry loop
From: Junrui Luo via B4 Relay
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 12:19:00 EST
From: Junrui Luo <moonafterrain@xxxxxxxxxxx>
amdgpu_userq_ensure_ev_fence() loops until the eviction fence is both
present and unsignaled. The only producer of such a fence is
amdgpu_evf_mgr_rearm(), which runs as the very last step of
amdgpu_userq_vm_validate(). Every failure point ahead of it - the
kzalloc() in the rearm itself, amdgpu_hmm_range_alloc(), the
ttm_bo_validate() calls, the GART binding of the wptr BOs - makes
amdgpu_userq_restore_worker() give up with only a drm_file_err().
Nothing propagates that back, so the waiting thread reschedules the
worker and flushes it again, forever.
Both flush_delayed_work() and mutex_lock() sleep in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the looping task cannot be killed and the OOM
killer cannot reclaim it. An unprivileged render node client
reaches this from both AMDGPU_USERQ and AMDGPU_USERQ_SIGNAL.
The eviction fence sequence number is already bumped by every
successful rearm, so use it as the loop's progress condition: if a
completed flush of the restore worker did not move it then no rearm
happened and retrying cannot help. Return -ENOMEM in that case and
let both callers report it to userspace.
