[RFC PATCH 1/2] dma-fence: Avoid establishing a locking order between fence classes

Thomas Hellström thomas.hellstrom at linux.intel.com
Tue Nov 30 12:19:35 UTC 2021


The locking order for taking two fence locks is implicitly defined in
at least two ways in the code:

1) Fence containers first and other fences next, which is defined by
the enable_signaling() callbacks of dma_fence_chain and
dma_fence_array.
2) Reverse signal order, which is used by __i915_active_fence_set().

Now 1) implies 2), except for the signal_on_any mode of dma_fence_array
and 2) does not imply 1), and also 1) makes locking order between
different containers confusing.

Establish 2) and fix up the signal_on_any mode by calling
enable_signaling() on such fences unlocked at creation.
