Problem: This patch caused negative refcount as described in [1] because for that case parent fence did not signal by the time of drm_sched_stop and hence kept in pending list the assumption was they will not signal and so fence was put to account for the s_fence->parent refcount but for amdgpu which has embedded HW fence (always same parent fence) drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled was always called and would still drop the count for parent fence once more. For jobs that never signaled this imbalance was masked by refcount bug in amdgpu_fence_driver_clear_job_fences that would not drop refcount on the fences that were removed from fence drive fences array (against prevois insertion into the array in get in amdgpu_fence_emit). Fix: Revert this patch and by setting s_job->s_fence->parent to NULL as before prevent the extra refcount drop in amdgpu when drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled is called on job release. Also - align behaviour in drm_sched_resubmit_jobs_ext with that of drm_sched_main when submitting jobs - take a refcount for the new parent fence pointer and drop refcount for original kref_init for new HW fence creation (or fake new HW fence in amdgpu - see next patch).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
