Subject: [PATCH] drm/sched: Remove optimization that causes hang when killing
 dependent jobs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When application A submits jobs and application B submits a job with a
dependency on A's fence, the normal flow wakes up the scheduler after
processing each job. However, the optimization in
drm_sched_entity_add_dependency_cb() uses a callback that only clears
dependencies without waking up the scheduler.

When application A is killed before its jobs can run, the callback gets
triggered but only clears the dependency without waking up the scheduler,
causing the scheduler to enter sleep state and application B to hang.

Remove the optimization by deleting drm_sched_entity_clear_dep() and its
usage, ensuring the scheduler is always woken up when dependencies are
cleared.
