partial revert commit <6971d3d> - drm/amdgpu: cleanup logic in
amdgpu_vm_flush

I don't see how the revert should be faster than the original.

Especially that amdgpu_vm_had_gpu_reset() is now called twice sounds like
more overhead than necessary.

Please explain further.

Christian.

[flora]: for compute ring & amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug(), a vm_flush is
inserted. This might cause performance drop.

Ah, I see. We only need the pipeline sync, but not the vm flush.

In this case I suggest to just change the following line in amdgpu_vm_flush():
-       bool vm_flush_needed = job->vm_needs_flush ||
-               amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug(ring);

We can keep it in amdgpu_vm_need_pipeline_sync().

BTW: We should cache the result of amdgpu_vm_ring_has_compute_vm_bug() in the vm manager structure. Computing this on the fly for every command submissions is just a huge bunch of overhead.

Regards,
Christian.
