Forgot to add mm mailing list. Sorry.
This patch enables the amdkfd driver to retrieve the kfd_process
object from the process's mm_struct. This is needed because kfd_process
lifespan is bound to the process's mm_struct lifespan.
When amdkfd is notified about an mm_struct tear-down, it checks if the
kfd_process pointer is valid. If so, it releases the kfd_process object
and all relevant resources.
In v3 of the patchset I will update the binding to match the final discussions
on [PATCH 1/8] mmput: use notifier chain to call subsystem exit handler.
In the meantime, I'm going to try and see if I can drop the kfd_process
in mm_struct and remove the use of the new notification chain in mmput.
Instead, I will try to use the mmu release notifier.
So the mmput notifier chain will not happen. I did a patch with call_srcu
and adding couple more helper to mmu_notifier. I will send that today for
review.
That being said, adding a device driver specific to mm_struct will most
likely be a big no. I am myself gonna remove hmm from mm_struct as people
are reluctant to see such change.
Cheers,
Jérôme
Yes, I followed that email thread and you can see that in the commit message I
referred to it (saying that in v3 of the patchset I'm also going to use
mmu_notifier). I will take your patch once you publish it and use it to change
amdkfd behavior.
