[PATCH] drm/msm/gem: Unpin objects slightly later

From: Rob Clark
Date: Fri Sep 23 2022 - 18:41:16 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The introduction of 025d27239a2f exposes a problem with f371bcc0c2ac, in
that we need to keep the object pinned in the time the submit is queued
up in the gpu scheduler. Otherwise the shrinker will see it as a thing
that can be evicted if we wait for it to be signaled. But if the
shrinker path is waiting on it with the obj lock held, the job cannot be
scheduled, as that also requires briefly grabbing the obj lock, leading
to deadlock. (Not to mention, we don't want the shrinker to evict an
obj queued up in gpu scheduler.)

Fixes: f371bcc0c2ac ("drm/msm/gem: Unpin buffers earlier")
Fixes: 025d27239a2f ("drm/msm/gem: Evict active GEM objects when necessary")
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/issues/19
