Because the clamp only triggers when !err, a partial fill that extends past range_end before hitting an allocated block before rhs_offset + size leaves filled > range_end - rhs_offset. When the leftward shift is then computed below: lhs_offset =3D rhs_offset - (size - filled); ... aligned =3D round_down(lhs_offset, min_block_size); if (aligned >=3D range_start && aligned + size <=3D range_end) lhs_offset + size equals rhs_offset + filled, which remains greater than range_end. For example, with range_start =3D 4K, range_end =3D 20K, size =3D 12K, min_block_size =3D 4K, [0, 24K) free, and [24K, 32K) allocated, the order-1 anchor at rhs_offset =3D 16K fills 8K before hitting 24K and returns -ENOSPC with filled =3D 8K. That yields lhs_offset =3D 12K and aligned + size =3D 2= 4K > 20K, causing the window check to reject the candidate instead of clamping filled to 4K and testing the valid placement at [8K, 20K). Should the clamp check rhs_offset + filled > range_end on -ENOSPC as well (with filled initialized to size when !err)? > + if (!err && IS_ALIGNED(rhs_offset, min_block_size) && > + rhs_offset >=3D range_start && rhs_offset + size <=3D range_end) > return 0; > + > if (!err) { > /* Allocate the unaligned RHS offset using round_down */ > gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > - err =3D __alloc_contig_aligned_retry(mm, rhs_offset, > - size, > - min_block_size, > - flags, blocks); > - if (!err) > - return 0; > - if (err !=3D -ENOSPC) { > - gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > - return err; > + > + aligned =3D round_down(rhs_offset, min_block_size); > + if (aligned >=3D range_start && > + aligned + size <=3D range_end) { > + err =3D __gpu_buddy_alloc_range(mm, aligned, size, > + flags, NULL, blocks); > + if (!err) > + return 0; > + if (err !=3D -ENOSPC) { > + gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > + return err; > + } > } > goto next; > } > @@ -1756,21 +1762,44 @@ static int __alloc_contig_try_harder(struct gpu_b= uddy *mm, > =20 > /* Allocate the unaligned LHS offset using round_down */ > gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > - err =3D __alloc_contig_aligned_retry(mm, lhs_offset, > - size, > - min_block_size, > - flags, blocks); > - if (!err) > - return 0; > - if (err !=3D -ENOSPC) { > - gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > - return err; > + > + aligned =3D round_down(lhs_offset, min_block_size); > + if (aligned >=3D range_start && aligned + size <=3D range_end) { > + err =3D __gpu_buddy_alloc_range(mm, aligned, size, > + flags, NULL, blocks); > + if (!err) > + return 0; > + if (err !=3D -ENOSPC) { > + gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > + return err; > + } > } > next: > gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > iter =3D rb_prev(iter); > } > =20 > +next_order: > + if (order > min_order) { > + order--; > + goto retry_order; > + } > + > + /* > + * Last resort: sweep every aligned offset in the window and let > + * __gpu_buddy_alloc_range() carve the span from a larger covering bloc= k. > + */\n> + for (aligned =3D round_up(range_start, min_block_size); > + aligned + size <=3D range_end; > + aligned +=3D min_block_size) { > + err =3D __gpu_buddy_alloc_range(mm, aligned, size, flags, NULL, blocks= ); > + if (!err) > + return 0; > + gpu_buddy_free_list_internal(mm, blocks); > + if (err !=3D -ENOSPC) > + return err; > + } [Severity: High] Won't this linear sweep cause severe latency regressions or soft lockups wh= en a contiguous allocation fails with -ENOSPC on a large VRAM manager? In gpu_buddy_alloc_blocks(), all GPU_BUDDY_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION requests enter __alloc_contig_try_harder() with [0, mm->size) for non-range callers = or [start, end) for range callers, and original_min_size is frequently SZ_4K: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_vram_mgr.c:amdgpu_vram_mgr_new() -> gpu_buddy_alloc_blocks(..., min_block_size =3D 4K, GPU_BUDDY_CONTIGUOUS_ALLOCATION) -> __alloc_contig_try_harder(mm, 0, mm->size, ..., 4K, ...) Callers like amdgpu_vram_mgr_new(), xe_ttm_vram_mgr_new(), and i915_ttm_buddy_man_alloc() hold their manager lock and rely on a fast -ENOS= PC return when contiguous space is unavailable so they can fall back to non-contiguous allocation or trigger eviction. When no contiguous span of the requested size exists, __alloc_contig_try_ha= rder() now descends through every free_tree order down to min_order and then sweeps every min_block_size-aligned offset across [range_start, range_end) (which = also changes the non-range path despite the commit message noting that non-range behaviour is unchanged). On a 16 GiB VRAM manager (or larger on modern GPUs) with min_block_size =3D= =3D 4K, a single -ENOSPC return will run over 4 million iterations of __gpu_buddy_alloc_range() while holding mgr->lock (and 65,536 iterations ev= en for a 256 MiB range). When a free run smaller than size precedes an allocat= ed block, stepping by min_block_size repeatedly splits higher-order free blocks and frees/coalesces them back on each step. When aligned lands on an already-allocated block, __alloc_range() aborts with an empty list, so gpu_buddy_free_list_internal() performs zero iterations and never calls cond_resched(). If the goal of the last-resort loop is to carve a span out of a larger coalesced free block when GPU_BUDDY_RANGE_ALLOCATION is set, why not walk t= he higher-order free trees (from order + 1 up to mm->max_order) and check bloc= ks that overlap [range_start, range_end) instead of scanning every aligned address? > + > return -ENOSPC; > } [ ... ] =E0=A6=93=E0=A7=9F=E0=A6=BE=E0=A6=93!
