The reservation_object_reserve_shared() function needs to be called before you 
make submissions to the hardware to make sure that you have a free slot after 
you made the submission.

The problem is now that we always reserve one free slot during command 
submission, but for the page directory reservation object it can happen that 
this free slot is used by VM updates.

So the safest approach is to make sure that we have another free slot after the 
VM updates are done.

Michel's patch nearly did that, because we rarely have only one submission in 
amdgpu_vm_update_directories(). But it isn't 100% correct.

Thanks to explain that, I think got your meaning that we should reserve slot 
for command submission after VM update.

if so, shall we add reservation_object_reserve_shared() for both of them, since 
any of place may run out of slot.

While the gap from me is I fail to find reserving slot during command 
submission,

That's done by ttm_eu_reserve_buffers().

the root bo reservation seems to be used by VM update only(if not correct me).

No, that is not correct. The root BO is also part of the list of BOs for the 
command submission used by ttm_eu_reserve_buffers() and 
ttm_eu_fence_buffer_objects().

All VM updates will use the same slot, so we just need one extra 
reservation_object_reserve_shared() after all the VM updates are done.

Yes, thanks to point it out.
the root bo indeed needs at least one extra shared slot for command submission.

Regards,
Christian.

command submission is likely to use bo's reservation from bo list rather than 
root bo reservation.

BTW, reservation_object_reserve_shared() will extend the max num as 2 times if 
it's not enough.
(default value is 4)
