Oh, but this piece of functionality - skipping HW ASIC reset in case the 
guilty job done is totally missing form this patch series and so needs 
to be added. So what you say actually is that for the case were we skip 
HW asic reset because the guilty job did complete we also need to skipĀ  
resubmitting the jobs in drm_sched_resubmit_jobs and hence preserve the 
old parent fence pointer for reuse ? If so I would like to add all this 
functionality as a third patch since the first 2 patches are more about 
resolving race condition with jobs in flight while doing reset - what do 
you think ?
