See that in “sched_entity_fini”, we only call
dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled”under the condition of “If
(entity->fini_status)”, so
This way there is memory leak for the case of “entity->fini_stats ==0”
Good catch, we indeed should fix that.
1.Drm_sched_entity_fini(): it exit right after entity->job_queue
empty, [ but that time scheduler is not fast enough to deal with this
entity now ]
That should never happen.
The last job from the entity->job_queue is only removed after the
scheduler is done with the entity (at least that was the original idea,
not sure if that still works as expected).

*Correctio for the scenario *
After we move fence_put(entity->last_sched) out of the fini_status check:
A potential race issue for the scenario:
1.Drm_sched_entity_fini(): it exit right after entity->job_queue
empty, [ but that time scheduler is not fast enough to deal with this
entity now ]
2.Drm_sched_entity_cleanup() : it call
dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled) [ but this time
entity->last_scheduled actually points to the fence prior to the real
last one ]
3.Scheduler_main() now dealing with this entity: it call
dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled) [ Now this fence get double
put !!! ]
4.Scheduler_main() now call dma_fence_get() on the *real* last one !
So eventually the real last one fence triggers memory leak and more
critical the double put fence cause NULL pointer access

Hi Christian & Emily
I think the v4 fix for “fix force app kill hang”is still not good enough:
First:
See that in “sched_entity_fini”, we only call
dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled”under the condition of “If
(entity->fini_status)”, so
This way there is memory leak for the case of “entity->fini_stats ==0”
Second:
If we move dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled) out of the condition
of “if (entity->fini_status)”, the memory leak issue can be fixed
But there will be kernel NULL pointer access, I think the time you
call dma_fence_put(entity->last_scheduled”) may actually executed **not**
On the last scheduled fence of this entity, because it is run without
“thread_park/unpark”pair which to make sure scheduler not dealing this
entity
So with certain race issue, here is the scenario:
1.scheduler is doing the dma_fence_put() on the 1^st fence,
2.scheduler set entity->last_scheduled to 1^st fence
3.now sched_entity_fini() run, and it call dma_fence_put() on
entity->last_scheduled
4.now this 1^st fence is actually put double time and the real last
fence won’t get put by expected
any idea?
