The event has to be created after the issue. At that moment, the entry might not have any associated event.

Comment at: openmp/libomptarget/src/device.cpp:295
+      Entry->unlock();
+      // If there is an event attached, destroy it.
+      if (OldEvent)

For your first comment, yes, and now it is fixed by an ugly way. A nicer solution would be related to the API design in D108528where which we can discuss. The question is whether we want to pass async info to the plugin for event creation, synchronization, and destroy.

For the second point, it's a compatibility consideration, that is if there is a platform that doesn't allow event to be reused after it is fulfilled. I don't know.
