No, if async is true, then it will goto out, which will directly return.

if (runqueue_node->async)
    goto out;   // here, go to out, will directly return

wait_for_completion(&runqueue_node->complete);      // not hit
g2d_free_runqueue_node(g2d, runqueue_node);

out:
return 0;

It is freed by g2d_free_runqueue_node in g2d_runqueue_worker

static void g2d_runqueue_worker(struct work_struct *work)
{
    ......
    if (runqueue_node) {
        pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(g2d->dev);
        pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(g2d->dev);

        complete(&runqueue_node->complete);
        if (runqueue_node->async)
            g2d_free_runqueue_node(g2d, runqueue_node);        // freed here
    }

queue_work(g2d->g2d_workq, &g2d->runqueue_work);
msleep(100);        // add sleep here to let g2d_runqueue_worker run first
if (runqueue_node->async)
    goto out;
