From: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haeh...@amd.com> As soon as we leave the spinlock after the job has been added to the job queue, we can no longer rely on the job's data to be available.
I have seen a null-pointer dereference due to sched == NULL in amd_sched_wakeup via amd_sched_entity_push_job and amd_sched_ib_submit_kernel_helper. Since the latter initializes sched_job->sched with the address of the ring scheduler, which is guaranteed to be non-NULL, this race appears to be a likely culprit.
