Hello Christian

Thanks for your comments.
Well absolutely clear NAK to the whole approach.

This is the nonsense Sunil and I have worked quite hard to remove and we certainly shouldn't repeat such mistakes.

When the userq needs to be used from interrupt context we need to hold the xa_lock_irqsave() or otherwise we don't have any guarantee that the userq, userq_mgr or associated fpriv went out of scope.
Holding the spin lock by xa_lock_irqsave() can surely avoid racing with the destruction process, however, it does not apply to all scenarios, for example, you can not hold spin lock in mes_userq_reset_queue(),
because it calls either amdgpu_mes_reset_queue_mmio or amdgpu_mes_reset_queue_mmio, both of them acquire the MES mutex through amdgpu_mes_lock.

Another thing, out of the topic is, holding xa_lock does not guarantee fpriv/userq_mgr alive, for example, when drm_device->unplugged is true, all amdgpu teardown paths in amdgpu_drm_release are skipped,
and the fpriv/userq_mgr is freed, no matter whether holding the xa spin lock.

So IMHO since we have userq->kref, lets use it to maintain the lifecycle of the queues. 

Grabbing references from this side would obviously result in circle dependencies.
I am not sure, we should use the lock/unlock and kref_put/get in pairs in sequence, can you name some circle dependencies or AB-BA lockings as examples?

Thanks
Lingshan

Christian.
