Hi Maarten,

Hmm, after looking into it, I think that can achieve the same purpose. I will update the patch with this.

> Also why do you need this? Why not simply return 0 with timeout = 0.
The major purpose here is to use reservation_object_wait_timeout_rcu to handle all possible timeout values (and just to check status with timeout==0). If we simply return 0, we cannot determine the fence is signaled or not with the return value.

Regards,
Jammy

Hey,

Can't you simply add if (!timeout) return !reservation_object_test_signaled_rcu(obj, wait_all); to the beginning instead?
Waiting with timeout = 0 is not really defined. Look at fence_default_wait for example. It returns timeout if the fence is signaled, but since this is 0 you can't distinguish between timed out wait and succesful wait.

Also why do you need this? Why not simply return 0 with timeout = 0.
