Since scheduler is a shared component, please add dri-devel on all

[Why]
for bailing job, this commit will delete it from pending list thus the

[How]
after embeded hw_fence into amdgpu_job is done, the race condition that
this commit tries to work around is completely solved.So revert this
commit.
This reverts commit 135517d3565b48f4def3b1b82008bc17eb5d1c90.
v2:
add dma_fence_get/put() around timedout_job to avoid concurrent delete

While this is true for amdgpu, it has no meaning for other drivers for whom
we haven't
done the refactoring of embedding HW fence (parent) into the job structure.
In fact thinking
about it, unless you do the HW fence embedding for all the drivers using the
scheduler you cannot
revert this patch or you will just break them.
btw, why did you do that embedding? I do still have my patches with
dma_fence annotations floating around, but my idea at least was to fix
that issue with a mempool, not with embeddeding. What was the motivation
for embedding the wh fence?
-Daniel
The motivation was 2 fold, avoid memory allocation during jobs submissions
(HW fence allocation) because as Christian explained this leads to deadlock
with
mm code during evictions due to memory pressure (Christian can clarify if I
messed
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 ...
this explanation). Second is to exactly revert this patch because while it
solved the issue
described in the patch it created another with drivers who baildc out early
during TDR handling
for various reason and the job would just leak because it was already
removed form pending list.
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"?
-Danile
If you look at the original patch it would reinsert it even earlier -
right after stopping the SW scheduler thread, and even then it was to
late for
some drivers as they would decide to return back from their TDR handler
even before that. It is solvable but in an ugly way as far as I see, you
need to
require each driver in his code to put the job back in the list if they
do it before reaching the place where scheduler framework does it. Kind of
spaghetti code seems to me.
