Hi Andrey and Daniel
We worked for a really long time on this new feature to AMD that finally can pick up the bad job from all timedout ones, and the change in scheduler (get/put fence in drm_sched_job_timedout, and remove the bad job delete and put back) is the last piece for us.
While we understand and realized that after the "bad job list node delete logic" being removed from job_timedout, there will be race issues introduced if vendor's job_timeout calback is accessing the bad job in parallel of scheduler doing "sched->ops->free_job(leanup_job)".
And to not introduce impact at all on those vendors I'd like to proposal a very simple change (which introduced a new bool member for scheduler to indicate if the del/put-back logic is needed or not) , check patch here below:

Yeah that's the exact same thing I've chased with my dma_fence annotations, but thus far zero to none interested in getting it sorted. I think it'd be good to have some cross-driver agreement on how this should be solved before someone just charges ahead ...

Can't we reinsert it before we restart the scheduler thread? It might need a separate list for that due to the lockless queue tricks. Or am I thinking about the wrong kind of "we lost the job"?
