Yep, will do. I was expecting this to change

I don't quite follow the second sentence; you mean you'd rather I
was finished setting things up before the TEST_ONLY check? That sounds
OK.

For TEST_ONLY I actually think we shouldn't reject commits with
OUT_FENCE_PTRs and TEST_ONLY. I thought the idea of TEST_ONLY was for
userspace to build a commit, then see if it can work, then commit it
for real.

By rejecting TEST_ONLY + OUT_FENCE_PTRs you're saying userspace can
never test what it actually intends to commit. It has to test, then
add the out-fences, then commit and hope for the best.

How about always setting the out-fences to -1 for TEST_ONLY?

Thanks for the review,
