[PATCH] drm/sched: fix the duplicated TMO message for one IB

Hi Christian

I saw your patch commit ""19067e"", it actually explained nothing about why need this timer to restarted since handler already restarted this timer inside ...

and sorry that I don't have the history background to understand your previous reply, please check in lines:

>>the timeout handler might only kill waves until we see some progress again and then continue E.g. we don't necessary kill the whole job, but maybe just one drawing/computing operations. Or the same job is submitted another time.

[ML] what do you mean don't kill the whole job ?? the job is the minimal granularity to either signal or force completion ...   I don't get your point here ... and how to explain "kill" ? (do you mean terminate the application during the "wave" being excuted ?) Can you use plain words to avoid term misunderstanding ? thanks 
 
>>As long as there is a job running on the hardware there should also be a timer running.

[ML] this part I think there is no problem, after handler recovered scheduler the TIMER do get restarted in "post_asic_reset"

Hi Monk,

the timeout handler might only kill waves until we see some progress again and then continue.

E.g. we don't necessary kill the whole job, but maybe just one drawing/computing operations. Or the same job is submitted another time.

As long as there is a job running on the hardware there should also be a timer running.

Not only our driver is relying on that but also the ARM drivers. See the history of that change.

When we don't want the timeout to fire again for this job we should probably remove the job from the ring mirror list and destroy it.

Christian.
