Without the locking amdgpu currently can race amdgpu_ctx_set_entity_priority() and drm_sched_job_arm(), leading to the latter accesing potentially inconsitent entity->sched_list and entity->num_sched_list pair.
The comment on drm_sched_entity_modify_sched() however says:
""" * Note that this must be called under the same common lock for @entity as * drm_sched_job_arm() and drm_sched_entity_push_job(), or the driver needs to * guarantee through some other means that this is never called while new jobs * can be pushed to @entity. """
It is unclear if that is referring to this race or something else.

That comment is indeed a bit awkward. Both drm_sched_entity_push_job() and drm_sched_job_arm() take rq_lock. But drm_sched_entity_modify_sched() doesn't.
The comment was written in 981b04d968561. Interestingly, in drm_sched_entity_push_job(), this "common lock" is mentioned with the soft requirement word "should" and apparently is more about keeping sequence numbers in order when inserting.
I tend to think that the issue discovered by you is unrelated to that comment. But if no one can make sense of the comment, should it maybe be removed? Confusing comment is arguably worse than no comment

Agree, we probably mixed up in 981b04d968561 that submission needs a common lock and that rq/priority needs to be protected by the rq_lock.
There is also the big FIXME in the drm_sched_entity documentation pointing out that this is most likely not implemented correctly.
I suggest to move the rq, priority and rq_lock fields together in the drm_sched_entity structure and document that rq_lock is protecting the two.
Then audit the code if all users of rq and priority actually hold the correct locks while reading and writing them.

Maybe, but we need to keep in sight the fact some of these fixes may be good to backport. In which case re-naming exercises are best left to follow.
My argument basically. It's good if fixes and other improvements are separated, in general, unless there is a practical / good reason not to.
Also..
void drm_sched_rq_update_fifo(struct drm_sched_entity *entity, ktime_t ts) { /* * Both locks need to be grabbed, one to protect from entity-
rq
change * for entity from within concurrent drm_sched_entity_select_rq and the * other to update the rb tree structure. */ spin_lock(&entity->rq_lock); spin_lock(&entity->rq->lock);
.. I agree this is quite unredable and my initial reaction was a similar ugh. However.. What names would you guys suggest and for what to make this better and not lessen the logic of naming each individually?
According to the documentation, drm_sched_rq.lock does not protect the entire runque, but "@lock: to modify the entities list."
So I would keep drm_sched_entity.rq_lock as it is, because it indeed protects the entire runqueue.
And drm_sched_rq.lock could be named "entities_lock" or "entities_list_lock" or something. That's debatable, but it should be something that highlights that this lock is not for locking the entire runque as the one in the entity apparently is.

That comment is indeed a bit awkward. Both drm_sched_entity_push_job() and drm_sched_job_arm() take rq_lock. But drm_sched_entity_modify_sched() doesn't.
The comment was written in 981b04d968561. Interestingly, in drm_sched_entity_push_job(), this "common lock" is mentioned with the soft requirement word "should" and apparently is more about keeping sequence numbers in order when inserting.
I tend to think that the issue discovered by you is unrelated to that comment. But if no one can make sense of the comment, should it maybe be removed? Confusing comment is arguably worse than no comment
Agree, we probably mixed up in 981b04d968561 that submission needs a common lock and that rq/priority needs to be protected by the rq_lock.
There is also the big FIXME in the drm_sched_entity documentation pointing out that this is most likely not implemented correctly.
I suggest to move the rq, priority and rq_lock fields together in the drm_sched_entity structure and document that rq_lock is protecting the two.
That could also be a great opportunity for improving the lock naming:
Well that comment made me laugh because I point out the same when the scheduler came out ~8years ago and nobody cared about it since then.
But yeah completely agree :)
Maybe, but we need to keep in sight the fact some of these fixes may be good to backport. In which case re-naming exercises are best left to follow.
My argument basically. It's good if fixes and other improvements are separated, in general, unless there is a practical / good reason not to.
Ah cool, I am happy to add follow up patches after the fixes.
Also..
void drm_sched_rq_update_fifo(struct drm_sched_entity *entity, ktime_t ts) { /* * Both locks need to be grabbed, one to protect from entity-
rq
change * for entity from within concurrent drm_sched_entity_select_rq and the * other to update the rb tree structure. */ spin_lock(&entity->rq_lock); spin_lock(&entity->rq->lock);
.. I agree this is quite unredable and my initial reaction was a similar ugh. However.. What names would you guys suggest and for what to make this better and not lessen the logic of naming each individually?
According to the documentation, drm_sched_rq.lock does not protect the entire runque, but "@lock: to modify the entities list."
So I would keep drm_sched_entity.rq_lock as it is, because it indeed protects the entire runqueue.
Agreed on entity->rq_lock.
And drm_sched_rq.lock could be named "entities_lock" or "entities_list_lock" or something. That's debatable, but it should be something that highlights that this lock is not for locking the entire runque as the one in the entity apparently is.
AFAICT it also protects rq->current_entity and rq->rb_tree_root in which case it is a bit more tricky. Only rq->sched is outside its scope. Hm. Maybe just re-arrange the struct to be like:
struct drm_sched_rq { struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched;
spinlock_t lock; /* Following members are protected by the @lock: */ struct list_head entities; struct drm_sched_entity *current_entity; struct rb_root_cached rb_tree_root; };
I have no ideas for better naming. But this would be inline with Christian's suggestion for tidying the order in drm_sched_entity.
I am also not sure what is the point of setting rq->current_entity in drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo().

AFAICT it also protects rq->current_entity and rq->rb_tree_root in which case it is a bit more tricky.
Then in any case we'll also have to update the documentation snippet I had quoted above.
btw. I'm not saying you have to do all of that; I'm also currently working on some additional scheduler documentation.
Only rq->sched is outside its scope. Hm. Maybe just re-arrange the struct to be like:
struct drm_sched_rq { struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched;
spinlock_t lock; /* Following members are protected by the @lock: */ struct list_head entities; struct drm_sched_entity *current_entity; struct rb_root_cached rb_tree_root; };
I have no ideas for better naming.
Hmmm. Difficult.
Maybe rq_outer_lock <-> rq_inner_lock or "partial" and "whole".
Explains why no one ever bothered renaming it.
But this would be inline with Christian's suggestion for tidying the order in drm_sched_entity.
I am also not sure what is the point of setting rq->current_entity in drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo().
It seems to me that current_entity is only used (read) in drm_sched_rq_remove_entity() and drm_sched_rq_select_entity_rr(). It seems to be only really useful for the RR function?
drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo() was added later, in 08fb97de03aa2, and it's very likely that the author oriented himself at the RR function. So it's possible it's actually not needed and was just copied by accident.

Agreed on entity->rq_lock.
I would just name that lock since it should be a protection of fields in the drm_sched_entity structure.
That those fields are the rq and priority member should not necessary have an influence on the name of the lock protecting it.
Only when we have multiple locks in the same structure then we need to start giving them distinct names.
And drm_sched_rq.lock could be named "entities_lock" or "entities_list_lock" or something. That's debatable, but it should be something that highlights that this lock is not for locking the entire runque as the one in the entity apparently is.

Yeah I mean see the other structure we have in DRM and general Linux kernel. The stuff that is static is usually grouped together since that is good for cache locality and documentation at the same time.
I am also not sure what is the point of setting rq->current_entity in drm_sched_rq_select_entity_fifo().
No idea either, Luben could answer that.
