[PATCH 0/3] drm/syncobj: add protection against timeline resets

[Lionel Landwerlin]

Hi all,

Following Jason's suggestion on another thread adding timeline
documentation [1], here is a small series adding a creation flag to
syncobjs so that users are prevented to drop the existing timeline
fences in the syncobj, effectivelly ensuring a user always adds to the
dma_fence_chain instead of replacing it.

We still allow explicit reset.

Apart from the fact we need to enforce this policy in each driver's
submission path, I haven't run into odds things yet.

Cheers,
