Commit 56e449603f0a ("drm/sched: Convert the GPU scheduler to variable
number of run-queues") introduces drm_err() in drm_sched_job_init(), in
order to indicate that the given entity has no runq, however at this
time job->sched is not yet set, likely to be NULL initialized, and hence
shouldn't be used.
Replace the corresponding drm_err() call with pr_err() to avoid a
potential page fault.
While at it, extend the documentation of drm_sched_job_init() to
indicate that job->sched is not a valid pointer until
drm_sched_job_arm() has been called.

Good catch!
Did you actually get this to page-fault and have a kernel log?
No, I just found it because I was about to make the same mistake.
I'm asking because we see it correctly set in this kernel log coming from AMD,
I think that's because amdgpu just sets job->sched to *some* scheduler instance
after
job allocation [1].

Is it feasible to do something like the following?
dev_err(job->sched ? job->sched->dev : NULL, "%s: entity has no
rq!\n", __func__);
I don't think that's a good idea. Although I'd assume that every driver
zero-initializes its job
structures, I can't see a rule enforcing that. Hence, job->sched can be a
random value until
drm_sched_job_arm() is called.
Okay. However, when using pr_err() we're losing "[drm] *ERROR* " prefix and we
scan for that
in the logs to quickly find the cause of the error.
Perhaps we can define pr_fmt() and also include "*ERROR*" so that we can get
the desired result
as the attached patch shows?
Sure, I'd add the pr_fmt() in a separate patch though.
