It's not a locking problem I'm talking about here. Radeons lockup handling
kicks in when anything calls into the driver from the outside, if you have a
fence wait function that's called from the outside but doesn't handle
lockups you essentially rely on somebody else calling another radeon
function for the lockup to be resolved.
So you don't have a timer in radeon that periodically checks whether
progress is still being made? That's the approach we're using in i915,
together with some tricks to kick any stuck waiters so that we can
reliably step in and grab locks for the reset.
We tried this approach, but it didn't worked at all.
I already considered trying it again because of the upcoming fence
implementation, but reconsidering that when a driver is forced to change
it's handling because of the fence implementation that's just another
hint that there is something wrong here.
