The timeout logic provided by drm_sched leads to races when we try
to suspend it while the drm_sched workqueue queues more jobs. Let's
overhaul the timeout handling in panthor to have our own delayed work
that's resumed/suspended when a group is resumed/suspended. When an
actual timeout occurs, we call drm_sched_fault() to report it
through drm_sched, still. But otherwise, the drm_sched timeout is
disabled (set to MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT), which leaves us in control of
how we protect modifications on the timer.
One issue seems to be when we call drm_sched_suspend_timeout() from
both queue_run_job() and tick_work() which could lead to races due to
drm_sched_suspend_timeout() not having a lock. Another issue seems to
be in queue_run_job() if the group is not scheduled, we suspend the
timeout again which undoes what drm_sched_job_begin() did when calling
drm_sched_start_timeout(). So the timeout does not reset when a job
is finished.
v2:
- Fix syntax error
v3:
- Split the changes in two commits
v4:
- No changes
v5:
- No changes
v6:
- Fix a NULL deref in group_can_run(), and narrow the group variable
scope to avoid such mistakes in the future
- Add an queue_timeout_is_suspended() helper to clarify things
v7:
- No changes
v8:
- Don't touch drm_gpu_scheduler::timeout in queue_timedout_job()
