> of dealing with sync_files on DRM drivers. So even if there are many
> fences in the sync_file that needs to waited for a commit to happen,
> they all get added to the fence_collection and passed for DRM use as
> a standard struct fence.

> That means that no changes needed to any driver besides supporting fences.

> fence_collection's fence doesn't belong to any timeline context, so
> fence_is_later() and fence_later() are not meant to be called with
> fence_collections fences.

> v2: Comments by Daniel Vetter:
> 	- merge fence_collection_init() and fence_collection_add()
> 	- only add callbacks at ->enable_signalling()
> 	- remove fence_collection_put()
> 	- check for type on to_fence_collection()
> 	- adjust fence_is_later() and fence_later() to WARN_ON() if they
> 	are used with collection fences.
> 
> v3: - Initialize fence_cb.node at fence init.
> 
>     Comments by Chris Wilson:
> 	- return "unbound" on fence_collection_get_timeline_name()
> 	- don't stop adding callbacks if one fails
> 	- remove redundant !! on fence_collection_enable_signaling()
> 	- remove redundant () on fence_collection_signaled
> 	- use fence_default_wait() instead
> 
> v4 (chk): Rework, simplification and cleanup:
> 	- Drop FENCE_NO_CONTEXT handling, always allocate a context.
> 	- Rename to fence_array.
> 	- Return fixed driver name.
> 	- Register only one callback at a time.
> 	- Document that create function takes ownership of array.
> 
> v5 (chk): More work and fixes:
> 	- Avoid deadlocks by adding all callbacks at once again.
> 	- Stop trying to remove the callbacks.
> 	- Provide context and sequence number for the array fence.
> 
> v6 (chk): Fixes found during testing
> 	- Fix stupid typo in _enable_signaling().

This is working fine to me. Once the commit message is fixed:

You need to Cc Sumit here to decide who is picking these patches.
It would be better to get them through the drm trees so we would need
his Ack at least.
