I don't think that makes sense.
See we don't want to start the time when the job is inserted into the
ring buffer, but rather when it starts processing.
Starting processing is a bit swampy defined, but just starting the timer
when the previous job completes should be fine enough.

I don't think it matters when it actually starts to be processed, what
matters is when this job was inserted into pending list because right
at that point you arm the TO timer (when no other is running already)
and so when the previous job completes and you cancel and rearm again
you can use that TS from the next job in pending list to calculate how
much time has actually left for it to run before TDR must be initiated
and not just give it again full TO value to run even if it has already
been running for a while.
Also, i am not sure also about the assumption that what we measure is
processing by HW, what we measure is from the moment it was scheduled
to ring to the moment the job completed (EOP event). At least that
what our TDR timer measures and so it makes sense to set the TS at
this point.

what is that 'ts' representing for ? it looks to me the jiffies that
it get scheduled to the ring, but a job scheduled to the ring
doesn't represent it's being processed by hw.
Thanks

Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/sched: fix the bug of time out calculation(v3)
Attached quick patch for per job TTL calculation to make more
precises next timer expiration. It's on top of the patch in this
thread. Let me know if this makes sense.

issue:
in cleanup_job the cancle_delayed_work will cancel a TO timer even
the its corresponding job is still running.
fix:
do not cancel the timer in cleanup_job, instead do the cancelling
only when the heading job is signaled, and if there is a "next" job
we start_timeout again.
v2:
further cleanup the logic, and do the TDR timer cancelling if the
signaled job is the last one in its scheduler.
v3:
change the issue description
remove the cancel_delayed_work in the begining of the cleanup_job
recover the implement of drm_sched_job_begin.
TODO:
1)introduce pause/resume scheduler in job_timeout to serial the
handling of scheduler and job_timeout.
2)drop the bad job's del and insert in scheduler due to above
serialization (no race issue anymore with the serialization)

I actually don't see why we need to keep the above, on the other side
(in drm_sched_stop) we won't touch the pending list anyway until sched
thread came to full stop (kthread_park). If you do see a reason why
this needed then a comment should be here i think.
