TensorCopyInsertion inserts bufferization.alloc_tensor ops in case of RaW conflicts. If such a tensor is dynamically shaped, tensor.dim ops are inserted. There is an optimization for ops such as tensor.extract_slice: A copy of the result is created instead of the operand. Afterwards, all uses of the result are updated. E.g.:
%0 = tensor.extract_slice ... : tensor<?xf32> to tensor<?xf32> %1 = tensor.dim %0, %c0 : tensor<?xf32> %2 = bufferization.alloc_tensor(%dim) : tensor<?xf32>
All uses of %0, except for tensor.dim and bufferization.alloc_tensor (if any), should be replaced. Before this change, the use in tensor.dim was also replaced, resulting in IR that had a dominance error.
Note: There is no test case for this fix because the bug cannot be triggered with tensor.extract_slice, which implements an interface to reify result shapes. This bug appeared in an external project with a tensor.extract_slice-like op that does not implement that interface, in which case tensor.dim ops must be created. We do not have such an op in MLIR to trigger this bug.
