Returning -EAGAIN prevents ttm_bo_mem_space from trying alternate
placements and can lead to live-locks in amdgpu_cs, retrying
indefinitely and never succeeding.

Crap, I feared that this could live-lock under some circumstances, but 
hoped that this would be a rather rare case.

How did you reproduce this?

Anyway patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> 
for now.

kfdtest --gtest_filter=KFDEvictTest.* --gtest_repeat=10

It runs two processes, both of which do graphics CS and KFD compute 
queues at the same time with enough memory pressure to cause frequent 
KFD evictions. It's meant to test KFD eviction code paths, but ended up 
finding a problem the graphics CS code path. :/

I was able to reproduce it right after your changes. With the latest 
version of the branch I can't reproduce it any more. Some other commit 
must have changed things enough to avoid the live lock.

I also tried writing a test that reproduced it only with amdgpu_cs calls 
(without KFD), but no luck yet.

Probably just luck, unless this was a very recent change. I'd also been
seeing live-locks between memory-heavy piglit tests, last time just this
Monday. But it didn't happen every time.

I'd been meaning to report this, but kept getting distracted by other
stuff. Thanks for beating me to it, and for even coming up with a solution!
