Subject: [PATCH] drm/sched: Remove redundant entity->rq initialization and checks
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 16:33:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602153339.43453-1-tvrtko.ursulin@igalia.com> (raw)
Commit
28c5bf28763d ("drm/sched: Disallow initializing entities with no schedulers")
failed to notice clearing of entity->rq in drm_sched_entity_init() is now
redundant and can be removed.
Given that entity->rq can now never be NULL, we also remove two impossible
checks, from drm_sched_entity_kill() and drm_sched_entity_flush()
respectively.
Similarly, we can also remove the !entity->rq check in
drm_sched_job_init(). And for the better, given that the error message, if
it ever triggered, would have dereferenced the yet un-initialized job->
sched (only initialized later in drm_sched_job_arm()). This appears to
have been theoretically broken ever since commit
56e449603f0a ("drm/sched: Convert the GPU scheduler to variable number of run-queues")
.
