But when the evicted fence has already been signaled then enable_signaling is
not called in the first place:
if (test_bit(DMA_FENCE_FLAG_SIGNALED_BIT, &fence->flags))
return false;
if (!was_set && fence->ops->enable_signaling) {
trace_dma_fence_enable_signal(fence);
if (!fence->ops->enable_signaling(fence)) {
...
So the extra check is actually completely superfluous as far as I can see.
