Ok, sounds good to me. Going to send out a patch rebased to 
drm-misc-fixes today.

Yeah, I've seen that. Just didn't had time to answer.

That goes into the same direction as my thinking that we need to 
centralize the RCU and synchronization handling in general.

What I don't like about the approach is that dma_resv_get_fences() needs 
to allocate memory. For a lot of use cases including dma_buf_poll that 
is rather overkill.

To unify the handling I think we should use the iterator I've create the 
prototype of. This way we only have an "for_write" parameter and the 
iterator in return gives you all the fences you need.

When you then extend that  approach we could say we have an enum 
describing the use case. Something like:
1. For explicit sync, just give me all the must sync fences from memory 
management.
2. For read, give me all the writers and memory management fences.
3. For write, give me all the readers and writers and memory management 
fences.
4. For memory management, give me everything including things like PTE 
updates/TLB flushes.

So instead of asking for some specific type of fence(s) the drivers 
tells the dma_resv object about their use case and in return get the 
fences they need to wait for.

This essentially means that we move the decision what to wait for from 
the drivers into the dma_resv object, which I think would be a massive 
improvement.

Functions like dma_resv_get_list(), dma_resv_get_excl(), 
dma_resv_get_excl_rcu() etc would then essentially be deprecated and 
instead you use dma_resv_get_fences(), dma_resv_for_each_fences(), 
dma_resv_wait_timeout(), dma_resv_test_signaled() with a proper use case.

What do you think?
