[PATCH] drm/amdkfd: Insert missing TLB flush on GFX10 and later

1, If TLB_FLUSH_HEAVYWEIGHT is required after unmap on all GPUs
as described in commmit message, why we have this whitelist
instead of a blacklist?

2, kfd_flush_tlb(pdd, TLB_FLUSH_HEAVYWEIGHT) is also called
in svm_range_unmap_from_gpus(). Why not add this whitelist there?

That was a bug that this patch is fixing. There were specific GPUs and 
firmware versions where the TLB flush after unmap was causing 
intermittent problems in specific tests. This should have always been a 
blacklist.

There was a patch that used kfd_flush_tlb_after_unmap in the SVM code. 
But you reverted that patch, probably because it caused more problems 
than it solved. SVM really must flush TLBs the way it does because it is 
so tightly integrated with Linux's virtual memory management and because 
with XNACK, memory can be unmapped while GPU work is in progress without 
preemting queues (implicitly flushing TLBs and caches):

     It causes SVM regressions on Vega10 with XNACK-ON. Just revert it
     at the moment.

Yes, that's because kfd_flush_tlb_after_unmap() return false for Vega10(gfx901).
kfd_flush_tlb(pdd, TLB_FLUSH_HEAVYWEIGHT) is called unconditionally in SVM
for ASICs > IP_VERSION(9, 0, 0) and works well.

So why not relax the condition to KFD_GC_VERSION(dev) > IP_VERSION(9, 0, 0) ?

That would reintroduce the same problem that this workaround was meant 
to fix. I don't remember all the details of this, as it was years ago. I 
believe it was an intermittent hang or VM fault that was somewhat 
difficult to reproduce and investigate. Maybe Eric remembers the details 
as he was working on this bug back then. However, it was a real issue, 
and we got an SDMA firmware fix for it on GFX IP 9.4.1 as you can see 
from the FW version check in kfd_flush_tlb_after_unmap.

I would not recommend reverting this workaround at the risk of 
reintroducing a known intermittent bug that affects stability.
