I also realized this problem when I did fix for sched fence, I thought
if no issue, just left it as current code, it's more safe.
As Flora point it out, it results in performance drop, then we need to
correct it back.
pipeline_sync in vm flush should be inserted only when
amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug() is true, not all time for every vm
flush for all engines. The bug has been fixed in mec firmware from
version 673 in gfx8.
About gfx9 for amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug(), current
implementation is thinking gfx9 doesn't have compute vm bug by default.
Not sure it's in there. If no vm fault related to this bug, then we can
think gfx9 has no compute vm bug, I believe firmware team does that
based on previous generation, otherwise we need identify every
generation, that's crazy.

btw, what's about gfx9 for amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug()? Is the
workaround still needed?

partial revert commit <6971d3d> - drm/amdgpu: cleanup logic in
amdgpu_vm_flush

I don't see how the revert should be faster than the original.
Especially that amdgpu_vm_had_gpu_reset() is now called twice sounds like
more overhead than necessary.
Please explain further.
Christian.
