Can you hook f_op->flush method?
But this one is called for each task releasing a reference to the

not sure I see how this solves the problem.
The big question is why do you need to wait during the final closing a
file?
The wait can be terminated so the wait does not appear to be simply a
matter of correctness.
Well, as I understand it, it just means that you don't want to
abruptly terminate GPU work in progress without a good
reason (such as KILL signal). When we exit we are going to release
various resources GPU is still using so we either
wait for it to complete or terminate the remaining jobs.
Looked more into code, some correction, drm_sched_entity_fini means the
SW job queue itself is about to die, so we must
either wait for completion or terminate any outstanding jobs that are
still in the SW queue. Anything which already in flight in HW
will still complete.
