Yeah pushing below 128 bytes makes sense.

Can you pls pull the kerneldoc inline here for these too and extend the
comments that @work is only used from the callback, at which point we
don't need @cb anymore? For union lifetime tricks we really should
document this in the datastructure docs.

With that:

I also think it'd be good to specify this clearly in the kerneldoc for
dma_fence_add_callback() with something like:

"Note that the registered @cb structure is no longer in use by the
signalling code by the time @func is called, and can therefore be used
again. This is useful when @func launches a work item because it allows us
to put both the struct dma_fence_cb and the work struct (e.g. struct
work_struct) into a union to save space."

Feel free to includ this in this patch here or do a separate one.

Cheers, Daniel
