This condition isn't enough to find proper point.
For two examples:
a. No garbage collection happens, the points in chain are
1----3----6----9----12---18---20, if user wants to get point17, then
we should return node 18.
And that is exactly what's wrong in the original logic. In this case
we need to return 12, not 18 because point 17 could have already been
garbage collected.
I don't think so, the 'a' case I already assume there isn't garbage
collection. If user wants to get point17, then we should return node 18.
timeline means point[N] must be signaled later than point[N-1].
Point[12] just can make sure point[1] ~point[12] are signaled.
Point[18] signal can make sure point[17] is signaled.
So this case we need to return 18, not 12, which is key timeline concept.
No, exactly that's incorrect. When we ask for 17 and can't find it then
this means it either never existed or that it is signaled already.
Returning a lower number in this case or even a stub fence is perfectly
fine since we only need to wait for that one in this case.
If we return 18 in this case then we add incorrect synchronization when
there shouldn't be any.
No, That will make timeline not work at all and break timeline semantics
totally.
If there aren't point18 and point20, the chain is
1----3----6----9----12, if user wants to get point 17, you also return
12? if yes, which absolutely is incorrect. The answer should be NO,
right? point17 should be waited on there until a bigger point is coming.
For chain is 1----3----6----9----12---18---20, if user wants to wait on
any one of points 13,14,15,16,17,18, we must wait for point 18, this is
timeline semantic.
You can also check sw_sync.c for timeline meaning.

b. garbage collection happens on point6, chain would be updated to
1---3---9---12---18---20, if user wants to get point5, then we
should return node 3, but if user wants to get point 7, then we
should return node 9.
Why? That doesn't seem to make any sense to me.
I still have no idea how to satisfy all these requirements with your
current chain-fence. All these logic just are same we encountered
before, we're walking them again. After solving these problems, I
guess all design is similar as before.
In fact, I don't know what problem previous design has, maybe there
are some bugs, can't we fix these bugs by time going? Who can make
sure his implementation never have bugs?
Well there where numerous problems with the original design. For
example we need to reject the requirement that timeline fences are in
order because that doesn't make sense in the kernel.
When userspace does something like submitting fences in the order 1,
5, 3 then it is broken and can keep the pieces. In other words the
kernel should not care about that, but rather make sure that it never
looses any synchronization no matter what.

Christian.
