I thought the consensus is that reasonable gpu schedulers and gpu reset
code should try to make really, really sure it only completes stuff in
sequence? That's at least my take away from the syncobj timeline
discussion, where you convinced me we shouldn't just crash&burn.
I think as long as your scheduler is competent and your gpu reset tries to
limit damage (i.e. kill offending ctx terminally, mark everything else
that didn't complete for re-running) we should end up with everything
completing in sequence. I guess if you do kill a lot more stuff, then
you'd have to push these through your scheduler as dummy jobs, i.e. they
still wait for their dependencies, but then all they do is set the
dma_fence error and complete it. Maybe something the common scheduler
could do.
