    A quick sketch of this idea looks like:

     void drm_syncobj_replace_fence(struct drm_syncobj *syncobj,
                                   struct dma_fence *fence)
     {
    -       struct dma_fence *old_fence;
    +       unsigned long flags;

    -       if (fence)
    -               dma_fence_get(fence);
    -       old_fence = xchg(&syncobj->fence, fence);
    -
    -       dma_fence_put(old_fence);
    +       spin_lock_irqsave(&syncobj->lock, flags);
    +       dma_fence_replace_proxy(&syncobj->fence, fence);
    +       spin_unlock_irqrestore(&syncobj->lock, flags);
     }

    The key advantage is that this translate the ioctl into a
    dma-fence-array
    which already has to deal with the mess, sharing the burden. (But it
    does require a trivial patch to dma-fence-array to record the first
    signaled fence.)

    However, this installs the proxy into syncobj->fence with the result
    that any concurrent wait also become a WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT. The behaviour
    of drm_syncobj is then quite inconsistent, sometimes it will wait
    for a
    future fence, sometimes it will report an error.


Yeah, that's not good. I thought about a variety of solutions to try and re-use more core dma_fence code. Ultimately I chose the current one because it takes a snapshot of the syncobjs and then, from that point forward, it's consistent with its snapshot. Nothing I was able to come up with based on core dma_fence wait routines does that.

As Chris pointed out, that's really not a good idea.

Most of the time we need the behavior of reporting an error and only when the flag is given wait until some fence shows up.

In general I suggest that we only support this use case in the form of a wait_event_interruptible() on setting the first fence on an object.

Waiting on the first one of multiple objects wouldn't be possible (you would always wait till all objects have fences), but I think that this is acceptable.

The big advantage of the wait_event_interruptible() interface is that your condition checking and process handling is bullet prove, as far as I have seen so far your code is a bit buggy in that direction.

Christian.
