If more than two or more jobs end up timeout-ing concurrently, only one
of them (the one attached to the scheduler acquiring the lock) is fully
handled. The other one remains in a dangling state where it's no longer
part of the scheduling queue, but still blocks something in scheduler
thus leading to repetitive timeouts when new jobs are queued.
Let's make sure all bad jobs are properly handled by the thread acquiring
the lock.

So I can see that the call to drm_sched_stop() needs to move below the
cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure that the update to queue->bad is
synchronised. What I'm not so sure about is whether it's possible for
the scheduler to make progress between the 'cancel' and the 'stop' -
there is a reason I wrote it the other way round...
Ok, I think see what you mean now. So, there's indeed a race between
the cancel_delayed_work_sync() and drm_sched_stop() calls, and a
timeout might go undetected because of that. This being said, the only
problem I see is that we would not increase karma on that job. In any
case the job will be re-queued, and unless we keep having timeouts on
the other queues it should be detected at some point. I can also try to
retrieve the deadline before canceling the delayed work and check it
before stopping the scheduler, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
Yes - well explained, I was trying to write an explanation but you beat
me to it ;)
However I think it's worse than just the karma - the second timeout of a
job could take a while to execute and actually execute *after* the first
timeout has completed. I'm wondering whether we just need something like:
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
drm_sched_stop()
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
that way we ensure that any other timeouts will definitely have
completed before performing the reset.
There's still a minor race regarding the karma - but that shouldn't
matter as you mention.

The hole for things to go round is clearly much smaller with this
change, but I'm not sure it's completely plugged. Am I missing something?

While we're on potential holes... some more context:
if (pfdev->jobs[i]) {
pm_runtime_put_noidle(pfdev->dev);
panfrost_devfreq_record_idle(pfdev);
pfdev->jobs[i] = NULL;
}

/* restart scheduler after GPU is usable again */
for (i = 0; i < NUM_JOB_SLOTS; i++)
drm_sched_start(&pfdev->js->queue[i].sched, true);
mutex_unlock(&pfdev->reset_lock);
I'm wondering whether the mutex_unlock() should actually happen before
the drm_sched_start() - in the (admittedly very unlikely) case where a
timeout occurs before all the drm_sched_start() calls have completed
it's possible for the timeout to be completely missed because the mutex
is still held.
Thanks,
Steve
