hm ... most scheduler discussions I remember was around the "allocate your
own workqueue and hand that to scheduler to avoid races/deadlocks". Which
iirc Boris implemented a while ago. Once you have that workqueue you can
then also process any other error condition on there with the exact same
locking design (like hw error or page faults or whatever), not just
drm/sched tdr.

I don't remember anything else that ever came up at least at a fundamental
level ...

So if that discussion was older than 78efe21b6f8e ("drm/sched: Allow using
a dedicated workqueue for the timeout/fault tdr") you should be covered.
Fingers crossed :-)

Meanwhile if you do not use drm/sched tdr at all then doing the exact same
design but just on your own workqueue should also work. The critical thing
is really only:
- have one single-thread workqueue for all gpu recover
- bracket each handler in there with drm_sched_stop/start for all affected
  engines

No more races!
