[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only]

Hi, Paul,
      I used our internal tool to make GPU hang and do stress test. In kernel, 
when GPU hang, driver has multi-paths to enter amdgpu_device_gpu_recover, the  
atomic  adev->in_gpu_reset is used to avoid re-entering GPU recovery. During 
GPU reset and resume, it is unsafe that other threads access GPU, which maybe 
cause GPU reset failed. Therefore the new rw_semaphore  adev->reset_sem is 
introduced, which protect GPU from being accessed by external threads when 
doing recovery.

Best Regards
Dennis Li

Dear Dennis,


Thank you for you patch.

Maybe update the commit message summary to read:

> Avoid external GPU access on GPU reset to fix system hang

As I am also experiencing system hangs, it would be great to have more
details. What systems are affected? What PSP firmware version? Will the
PSP firmware be fixed, or is the Linux driver violating the API.

How can the hang be reproduced?

Lastly, please explain your changes? Why does `atomic_read()` help for
example?
