I guess it is probably not 100% possible to ensure driver isn't
holding other of it's own locks when cb is called.. so I guess wq for
cb that needs to take other locks is a safe solution.
That said, and maybe I need more coffee, but I think the spinlock for
iterating cb_list is probably not needed.. I think we could arrange
things so the test_and_set(SIGNALED) is enough to protect iterating
the list and calling the cb's. (Maybe protect the
test_and_set(SIGNALED) w/ fence->lock just so it doesn't race someone
who already got past the test_bit(SIGNALED) in _add_callback()?)
Then "all" we have to do is figure out how to kill the
fence_signal_locked()/fence_is_signaled_locked() paths..
I think I also wouldn't mind pushing the locking down into the
->enable_signaling() cb too for drivers that need that. Maybe we
don't strictly need that. From quick look, seems like half the
drivers just 'return true;' and seems a bit silly to grab a lock for
that.
Maybe wq in fence-array in the short term at least is the best way
just to get things working without such an invasive change. But seems
like if we could kill the current _locked() paths that there is
potential to make the fence->lock situation less annoying.
