Hi Gustavo,

Thanks for catching that. When returning a fault, I think you also need
to srcu_read_unlock(&kfd_processes_srcu, idx).

However, instead of returning an error, I think I'd prefer to skip PDDs
that can't be found with continue statements. That way others would
still suspend and resume successfully. Maybe just print a WARN_ON for
PDDs that aren't found, because that's an unexpected situation,
currently. Maybe in the future it could be normal thing if we ever
support GPU hotplug.

Regards,
  Felix
