Re: [PATCH] drm/amd/ras: eliminate gpu reset lock protection for ras ta runtime command path

AMD General

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your comments.We cannot predict when the DPC interrupt will be triggered, so it is impossible to prevent the driver from sending messages to PMFW during DPC interrupt processing — this is exactly the issue we are encountering, which delays DPC recovery and causes functional anomalies. After cross-checking the legacy RAS implementation, GPU reset lock is not required in this code path.

Cannot send command during GPU reset, which may cause a system exception.

Best Regards,
Thomas

When PMFW enters mode-1 state, it will not respond to incoming messages.
Holding gpu reset lock before dispatching messages to PMFW would defer GPU recovery processing, cause undesirable timing skew.

Remove the gpu reset lock acquire and release logic inside send_ras_ta_runtime_cmd, prioritize GPU recovery execution over PMFW message delivery to fix timing dependency problems.
