sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active
load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the
source rq prefers its LLC:
env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable
But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated
in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued,
so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/
clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks.
So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted
in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks,
alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task
off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this
is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB
skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one
we want.
Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in
nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC
(pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership
once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through
pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that
change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(),
set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same
predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting
or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering.
nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued
semantics.

The results are written to the +kernel log. VRAM is on device memory (dGPUs) or carve out (APUs) and GTT +(Graphics Translation Tables) is system memory that is accessible by the GPU. +The following tests are available: + +- 1: simple test, VRAM to GTT and GTT to VRAM +- 2: simple test, VRAM to VRAM +- 3: GTT to VRAM, buffer size sweep, powers of 2 +- 4: VRAM to GTT, buffer size sweep, powers of 2 +- 5: VRAM to VRAM, buffer size sweep, powers of 2 +- 6: GTT to VRAM, buffer size sweep, common display sizes +- 7: VRAM to GTT, buffer size sweep, common display sizes +- 8: VRAM to VRAM, buffer size sweep, common display sizes + +amdgpu_test_ib +-------------- + +Read this file to run simple IB (Indirect Buffer) tests on all kernel managed +rings.

The ring buffer +is how the CPU sends commands to the GPU. The CPU writes commands into the +buffer and then asks the GPU engine to process it. This is the raw binary +contents of the ring buffer. Use a tool like UMR to decode the rings into human +readable form. + +amdgpu_mqd_<name> +----------------- + +Provides read access to the kernel managed MQD (Memory Queue Descriptor) for +ring <name> managed by the kernel driver. MQDs define the features of the ring +and are used to store the ring's state when it is not connected to hardware. +The driver writes the requested ring features and metadata (GPU addresses of +the ring itself and associated buffers) to the MQD and the firmware uses the MQD +to populate the hardware when the ring is mapped to a hardware slot. Only +available on engines which use MQDs. This provides access to the raw MQD +binary. + +amdgpu_error_<name> +------------------- + +Provides an interface to set an error code on the dma fences associated with +ring <name>. The error code specified is propagated to all fences associated +with the ring.

Fences are associated with submissions +to the engine. Emitted fences have been submitted to the ring +and signalled fences have been signalled by the GPU.

When the emitted and +signalled fence values are equal, the ring is idle. + +amdgpu_gem_info +--------------- + +Lists all of the PIDs using the GPU and the GPU buffers that they have +allocated.
