We need to ensure that any other timeouts that might have started
processing are complete before actually resetting the hardware.
Otherwise after the reset another thread could come along and attempt to
reset the hardware again (and cause a double free of a job).

This is intentional behaviour. If you don't want the double reset in Panfrost you should probably call the cancel_sync yourself.

Christian.


My change
to use the _sync() variant prevents this happening.

Ah that would simplify my change removing the need for the new variable.
I hadn't thought to use trylock. I'll give that a spin and post a new
simpler version.

Thanks,

Steve
