An entity found that is ready, no job found Continue with the example given by using a colon, as follows, ... avoid the following case: an entity is found which is ready, yet no job is returned for that entity when calling drm_sched_entity_pop_job(entity). This causes the job worker to go idle. The correct behaviour is to loop over all ready entities, until drm_sched_entity_pop_job(entity) returns non-NULL, or there are no more ready entities. >>>>> ready on entity, and run job worker goes idle with other entities + jobs >>>>> ready. Draining all ready entities (i.e. loop over all ready entities) You see here how "drain" isn't clear enough, and you clarify in parenthesis that we in fact "loop over all ready entities". So, perhaps let's not use the verb "drain" and simply use the sentence in the paragraph I've redacted above. Also, let's please not use "drain" in the title, as it is confusing and makes me think of capacitors, transistors, or buckets with water and Archimedes screws and siphons, and instead say, [PATCH]: drm/sched: Really find a ready entity and job in DRM sched run-job worker Which makes it really simple and accessible a description. :-) >>>>> in the run job worker ensures all job that are ready will be scheduled. >>>> That doesn't make sense. drm_sched_select_entity() only returns entities >>>> which are "ready", e.g. have a job to run. >>>> >>> That is what I thought too, hence my original design but it is not >>> exactly true.

I agree, the fix makes sense and achieves the original intention as described by Christian. Also, thanks to all who tested it. Good work, thanks!
