    Thanks for your explanation.

    Then may be more reasonable to move atomic_dec(&sched->num_jobs) after drm_sched_fence_scheduled() or just before atomic_inc(&sched->hw_rq_count).
    How do you think that?

For now num_jobs also includes jobs that have been pushed to the hardware queue. If I shift it before atomic_inc(&sched->hw_rq_count) then I also need to handle cases when the job was reset and update
the counter properly. I went for the easier implementation as I felt that num_jobs will correctly represent the load on the scheduler.

Thanks for your info more.
Yes, it's not a simple one deal work, just to clarify it's really meaning, a little overlap with hw_rq_count.
fine for now ;)


But the idea that you suggested can be a potential improvement over what I have done.

Thanks.
