[ Upstream commit c1a66c3bc425ff93774fb2f6eefa67b83170dd7e ] Workstation application ANSA/META v21.1.4 get this error dmesg when running CI test suite provided by ANSA/META: [drm:amdgpu_gem_va_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Couldn't update BO_VA (-16) This is caused by: 1. create a 256MB buffer in invisible VRAM 2. CPU map the buffer and access it causes vm_fault and try to move it to visible VRAM 3. force visible VRAM space and traverse all VRAM bos to check if evicting this bo is valuable 4. when checking a VM bo (in invisible VRAM), amdgpu_vm_evictable() will set amdgpu_vm->evicting, but latter due to not in visible VRAM, won't really evict it so not add it to amdgpu_vm->evicted 5. before next CS to clear the amdgpu_vm->evicting, user VM ops ioctl will pass amdgpu_vm_ready() (check amdgpu_vm->evicted) but fail in amdgpu_vm_bo_update_mapping() (check amdgpu_vm->evicting) and get this error log This error won't affect functionality as next CS will finish the waiting VM ops. But we'd better clear the error log by checking the amdgpu_vm->evicting flag in amdgpu_vm_ready() to stop calling amdgpu_vm_bo_update_mapping() later. Another reason is amdgpu_vm->evicted list holds all BOs (both user buffer and page table), but only page table BOs' eviction prevent VM ops. amdgpu_vm->evicting flag is set only for page table BOs, so we should use evicting flag instead of evicted list in amdgpu_vm_ready(). The side effect of this change is: previously blocked VM op (user buffer in "evicted" list but no page table in it) gets done immediately. v2: update commit comments.

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.
