Hi Michele and others, I am trying to implement the approach bellow to
resolve AMDGPU's hang when commands are stuck in pipe during process exit.
I noticed that once I implemented the file_operation.flush callback
then during run of X, i see the flush callback gets called not only for
Xorg process but for other
processes such as 'xkbcomp' and even 'sh', it seems like Xorg passes his
FDs to children, Christian mentioned he remembered a discussion to
always set FD_CLOEXEC flag when opening the hardware device file, so
we suspect a bug in Xorg with regard to this behavior.
Any advise on this would be very helpful.

I suggest the following approach:
1. Implement the flush callback and call the function to wait for the
scheduler to push everything to the hardware (maybe rename the
scheduler function to flush as well).
2. Change the scheduler to test for PF_EXITING, if it's set use
wait_event_timeout() if it isn't set use wait_event_killable().
When the wait times out or is killed set a flag so that the _fini
function knows that. Alternatively you could cleanup the _fini
function to work in all cases, e.g. both when there are still jobs on
the queue and when the queue is empty. For this you need to add
something like a struct completion to the main loop to remove this
start()/stop() of the kernel thread.
