Hi Sumit,
sending this once more with all the patches in once set, cause the last one
turned out to be a bit chaotic because I send from the wrong branch.
The following patch set fixes the handling in the fence and reservation object
wait function when the timeout is zero.
An AMD developer introduced this a while ago to work around some issues in TTM
and our amdgpu driver, but essentially this effort was a bit flawed because
even with a zero timeout enable_signalling() should be called.
Otherwise someone busy waiting for the fence might never be signaled when you
have hardware with faulty interrupts for example.
Please review and/or comment,
Christian.
