Commit 704d3d60fec4 ("drm/etnaviv: don't block scheduler when GPU is still active") ensured that active jobs are returned to the pending list when extending the timeout. However, it didn't use the pending list's lock to manipulate the list, which causes a race condition as the scheduler's workqueues are running.

Hold the lock while manipulating the scheduler's pending list to prevent a race.

Could also contain a "Closes: " with the link to the appropriate message from thread [1] from below.

You might also include "Reported-by: Philipp" since I technically first described the problem. But no hard feelings on that

Hi,

I'm proposing this workaround patch to address the race-condition caused by manipulating the pending list without using its lock. Although I understand this isn't a complete solution (see [1]), it's not reasonable to backport the new DRM stat series [2] to the stable branches.

Therefore, I believe the best solution is backporting this fix to the stable branches, which will fix the race and will keep adding the job back to the pending list (which will avoid most memory leaks).

Best Regards,
