Sure, we can do this in a separate future patch. I'd imagine it'll
touch a lot of places and I didn't want this patch and this series
of patches to get out of hand, by changing too many things.
Here in this patch I wanted to change as little as possible.

Yes, of course it could.

It's hard to go back to unitary processing. :-)

I don't understand what "this" refers to in "that this is suspended
while the scheduler thread is stopped."

Yes, indeed, that is the case and intentional.
There seems to be no requirement to have to stop the main
scheduler thread, which pushes tasks down to the GPU,
so that we can free jobs. In other words, both
threads can work concurrently, one pushing jobs down
to the GPU, while the other freeing done jobs coming
out of the GPU.
If this concurrency is something you don't like,
then no problem, we can keep them interlocked in one
thread as before.

A-ha! Thank you Christian for bringing this up--perhaps that is what
the problem is I was seeing on my test machine, which I described
in the cover letter 0/6, that X/GDM just sleeping in wait.
So, I'd imagined that whomever pushed jobs down to DRM, i.e.
the producer of jobs, also did a "up"/"wake-up" of the main
scheduler thread, so that the main scheduler thread would
then wake up and "schedule" tasks down into the GPU. It seems
I've only "imagined" :-) such concurrency and the the main scheduler
thread needs to be woken up to poll? I'll try this next.
Thanks for the tip Christian!

I'd originally removed the check in drm_sched_start_timeout(),
of whether the "pending_list" is empty, because the use
of that function became more _deterministic_, with this patch.
By this I mean that the timeout timer is now started
_only_ when we push down new jobs.
But then I noticed that "full recovery" business in
in drm_sched_start(), which calls drm_sched_start_timeout(),
and put that !list_empty() check back in, and I seem to have
forgotten to move this back inside the lock.
I'll move it back in, no problem, thanks for catching this.
