Subject: [PATCH v10] drm/xe/guc: Hold device ref until queue teardown completes
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:31:07 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710030107.1813068-1-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 GuC 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)
v8:
- Rebase.
v9:
- Keep SVM pagemap destroy work on the per-device WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
destroy_wq because it can be queued from reclaim and embeds
the dev_pagemap used by devres teardown. (Sashiko)
- Keep the module-level destroy WQ GuC-only and drop WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
from it.
- Update the module-WQ kdoc to document the GuC/SVM split.
v10:
- Keep xe->destroy_wq per-cpu while adding WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to fix the
workqueue allocation warning.
