Hi AlexBin,
No, David is right. This is a very common coding pattern in the kernel
module.
Freeing up a BO while there still exists a kernel mapping is perfectly
ok, the mapping will just be released a bit later on.
So this code is actually perfectly ok and just an optimization, but your
patch breaks it and creates a memory leak.
Regards,
Christian.

Hi David,
When amdgpu_bo_reserve return errors, we cannot release the BO. This
is not a memory leak. General speaking, memory leak is unnoticed and
unintentional.
The caller of function amdgpu_vram_scratch_fini ignores the return
error value...
The "memory leak" is not caused by my patch. It is caused because
reserving BO fails.
This patch only aim to make function amdgpu_vram_scratch_fini behave
correctly.
To follow up, we can add a warning message when amdgpu_bo_reserve
error happens in a different patch.
If function call amdgpu_bo_reserve is changed to uninterruptible, this
changes driver behaviour. Without a substantial issue, I would be
cautious for such a change.
Thanks,

Hi David,
Thanks for the comments. However, please have look at
amdgpu_bo_reserve definition.
static inline int amdgpu_bo_reserve(struct amdgpu_bo *bo, bool no_intr)
Ah, this is a wired wrapper for ttm_bo_reserve.
When we call this function like the following:
r = amdgpu_bo_reserve(adev->vram_scratch.robj, false);
The false means interruptible.
On the other hand, when amdgpu_bo_reserve function return error, why
do we unref BO without kunmap and unpin the BO? This is wrong
implementation when amdgpu_bo_reserve return any error.
Yeah, I see your mean, it's in driver un-loading, How about changing
to no interruptible? Your patch will make a memleak if bo_reserve
fails, but it seems not matter. I have no strong preference.

r = amdgpu_bo_reserve(adev->vram_scratch.robj, false);
we have specified interruptible to false, so -ERESTARTSYS isn't possible
here.
Thanks,
