Unfortunately looks like it's not that good idea at the end, take a look
at the attached KASAN print - sched thread's cleanup function races
against TDR handler and removes the guilty job from mirror list and we
have no way of differentiating if the job was removed from within the
TDR handler or from the sched. thread's clean-up function. So looks like
we either need 'keep the jobs on the ring mirror list, but not submit
them again' as you suggested before or add a flag to sched_job to hint
to drm_sched_job_timedout that guilty job requires manual removal. Your
suggestion implies we will need an extra check in almost every place of
traversal of the mirror ring to avoid handling signaled jobs while mine
requires extra flag in sched_job struct . I feel that keeping completed
jobs in the mirror list when they actually don't belong there any more
is confusing and an opening for future bugs.
