It is the amn->lock (amdgpu_mn_lock) which matters as > it is taken in exclusive mode for expensive operations. The write side of the lock is only taken in the command submission IOCTL. So you actually don't need to change anything here (even the proposed changes are overkill) since we can't tear down the struct_mm while an IOCTL is still using. > Is that correct Christian?

That won't work like this there might be multiple invalidate_range_start()/invalidate_range_end() pairs open at the same time. E.g. the lock might be taken recursively and that is illegal for a rw_semaphore.
