This is a bit of the puzzle that is missing.

So we are taking a snapshot here. It looks like this could have been
done using a dma_fence_array + dma_fence_proxy for capturing the future
fence.

This is the first step in the wait-loop, you set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
before doing any checks. So that if any state changes whilst you are in
the middle of those checks, the schedule_timeout is a nop and you can
check again.
