We do agree that jobs still pending when drm_sched_fini() starts is always a bug, right? If so, what are the disadvantages of waiting in drm_sched_fini()? We could block buggy drivers as I see it.

I'm still not able to see why it blocking would be undesired – as far as I can see, it is only invoked on driver teardown, so not during active operation. Teardown doesn't happen that often, and it can (if implemented correctly) only block until the driver's code has signaled the last fences. If that doesn't happen, the block would reveal a bug. But don't get me wrong: I don't want to *push* this solution. I just want to understand when it could become a problem. Wouldn't an explicitly blocking, separate function like drm_sched_flush() or drm_sched_fini_flush() be a small, doable step towards the right direction? > > > > > > > > When there are still entities with jobs the situation is > > > > > > even > > > > > > worse > > > > > > since the dma_fences for those jobs can never signal we can > > > > > > just > > > > > > choose between potentially locking up core memory > > > > > > management and > > > > > > random memory corruption.
