drm/amdgpu: revert "take runtime pm reference when we attach a buffer" v2
This reverts commit b8c415e3 ("drm/amdgpu: take runtime pm reference when we attach a buffer") and commit 425285d3 ("drm/amdgpu: add amdgpu runpm usage trace for separate funcs"). Taking a runtime pm reference for DMA-buf is actually completely unnecessary and even dangerous. The problem is that calling pm_runtime_get_sync() from the DMA-buf callbacks is illegal because we have the reservation locked here which is also taken during resume. So this would deadlock. When the buffer is in GTT it is still accessible even when the GPU is powered down and when it is in VRAM the buffer gets migrated to GTT before powering down. The only use case which would make it mandatory to keep the runtime pm reference would be if we pin the buffer into VRAM, and that's not something we currently do. v2: improve the commit message Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org
