Here is the problematic call stack

[<0>] drm_sched_entity_fini+0x10a/0x3a0 [gpu_sched]
[<0>] amdgpu_ctx_do_release+0x129/0x170 [amdgpu]

[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2
[<0>] 0xffffffffffffffff

On exit from system call you process all the signals you received and
encounter a fatal signal which triggers process termination.

So indeed this patch avoids wait in this case.

Can you clarify please - what should be returned here instead ?
