Hi,

Thanks for fixing the title and submitting a v2 of this patch. Comments inlined below.

I wonder if here it would've been cleaner to just do,

			if (!drm_sched_can_queue(sched, entity)) {
				rb = NULL;
				break;
			}

in order to follow the natural flow of the R-B tree search?
In other words, the loop invariant becomes false, we exit the loop,
unlock and return NULL.

Yeah, let's do that.

This mixing of the Xe patches and this patch is very, very annoying.
Here and in RR picking the entity mix-up with "dequeue" which is
now "peek"...

I'd like to have applied this patch to drm-misc-next and inspect it further,
but cannot chase around which version of the Xe patches this patch applies
to, cleanly, so I'd really rather have had this patch on a clean drm-misc-next
tree.

Let's not use "in flight". Perhaps it is better to say,

That's good.

Is this clear enough?

I mean, what really is a "submission_limit"? What is it limiting really?
Number of what? "Submissions"? No. It's credits.

("Submission" seems to have become very popular, see
 Message-ID: <a39eb381-4f2b-439b-b223-c5148167b225 at amd.com>, maybe through Lore.)

So if "submission_credit_limit" and "submission_credit_count"
seem too wordy, (and they kind of are), then perhaps use,

	@credit_limit: the credit limit of this scheduler
	@credit_count: the current credit count of this scheduler

Also note the slight comment update for those two quantities.

See above. Perhaps "credit_limit" and "credit_count".
