Subject: [PATCH v7] drm/xe/guc: Hold device ref until queue teardown completes
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:40:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624041029.2357470-1-arvind.yadav@intel.com> (raw)
GuC exec queue destruction can run asynchronously. If the final device
put happens from a destroy worker, drmm cleanup can end up draining
the same workqueue and deadlock.
Hold a drm_device reference for the queue lifetime and drop it after
queue teardown completes. This keeps drmm cleanup from running while
async destroy work is still pending.
Move destroy work to a module-lifetime Xe workqueue and flush it on
PCI remove so hot-unbind/rebind still waits for pending destroy work.
With queue-held device refs, guc_submit_sw_fini() cannot run with live
GuC IDs. Replace the fini wait with an assertion and remove the unused
fini_wq.
v2:
- Rebase
v3:
- Switch to queue-lifetime drm_dev_get()/drm_dev_put() model. (Matt)
- Queue async teardown on system_dfl_wq instead of xe->destroy_wq. (Matt)
- Drop separate deferred drm_dev_put worker.
- Remove stale drain_workqueue(xe->destroy_wq) from guc_submit_sw_fini().
v4:
- Replace the guc_submit_sw_fini() wait with an assertion and remove
the now-unused fini_wq. (sashiko)
v5:
- Move destroy work to a module-lifetime Xe workqueue instead of
system_dfl_wq. (Matt)
- Flush the module-lifetime destroy workqueue during PCI remove to
preserve the old device-remove wait semantics.
v6:
- Keep SVM pagemap destroy work on the per-device destroy_wq to avoid
letting it outlive the xe_device/drm_device. (Sashiko)
- Use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM for xe->destroy_wq because SVM pagemap destroy work
can be queued from the reclaim path.
v7:
- Drop the per-device xe->destroy_wq and use the module-level destroy WQ
for SVM pagemap destroy as well. (Matt)
- Rename xe_exec_queue_destroy_wq_*() helpers to xe_destroy_wq_*()
helpers because the WQ is no longer exec-queue specific. (Matt)
