Ble, just noticed that half of the change didn't get to git index...
This is what I have

    - amd gpu notifiers can sleep deeper in the callchain (evict_process_queues_cpsch
      on a lock and amdgpu_mn_invalidate_node on unbound timeout) make sure
      we bail out when we have an intersecting range for starter
