[ Upstream commit f5b9053398e70a0c10aa9cb4dd5910ab6bc457c5 ] There is a race condition when re-creating a kfd_process for a process. This has been observed when a process under the debugger executes exec(3). In this scenario: - The process executes exec. - This will eventually release the process's mm, which will cause the kfd_process object associated with the process to be freed (kfd_process_free_notifier decrements the reference count to the kfd_process to 0). This causes kfd_process_ref_release to enqueue kfd_process_wq_release to the kfd_process_wq. - The debugger receives the PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC notification, and tries to re-enable AMDGPU traps (KFD_IOC_DBG_TRAP_ENABLE). - When handling this request, KFD tries to re-create a kfd_process. This eventually calls kfd_create_process and kobject_init_and_add. At this point the call to kobject_init_and_add can fail because the old kfd_process.kobj has not been freed yet by kfd_process_wq_release. This patch proposes to avoid this race by making sure to drain kfd_process_wq before creating a new kfd_process object. This way, we know that any cleanup task is done executing when we reach kobject_init_and_add.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
