Hi Andrey,

if drm_sched_job_timedout is triggered first, drm_sched_get_cleanup_job will return
NULL when the timeout worker is running according to this code:
	if ((sched->timeout != MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT &&
	    !cancel_delayed_work(&sched->work_tdr)) ||
	    kthread_should_park())
		return NULL;

But yes a dma_fence_get(job->s_fence->parent) is needed before
processing timedout_job. When the bad job is signaled just before
processing, the amdgpu_fence_free can be triggered by the dma_fence_put() of HW fence.
And if I'm understanding this race condition correctly, the spin_lock is
still needed here to avoid the drm_sched_get_cleanup_job get the
spin_lock first and then enter the tdr work.
