OK. For the future please provide the reproducer somehow, for example
through a repo link.

Alright, so as we agreed on that's then not a bug fix relevant for
upstream.

I think it's a good idea. I'd move the deallocations above the related
kfree at the bottom.


What would be more valuable, though, would be a hint in the docu that
the hardware fences must have been signaled before drm_sched_fini() is
called. I thought we had sth like that, but apparently we don't.

@Christian: Could you address this here [1]?
