since the knowledge for these being NULL (or with the wrong alignment)
are in the init/reinit functions,  wouldn't it be better to just add a
fence_nop() and assign it there instead this likely() here?

like:
	if (WARN_ON(!fn || (unsigned long)fn & ~I915_SW_FENCE_MASK))
		fence->flags = (unsigned long)sw_fence_dummy_notify;
	else
		fence->flags = (unsigned long)fn;


f you return here instead of calling i915_sw_fence_reinit(), aren't you
just going to use uninitialized memory later? At least in the selftests,
which allocate it with kmalloc()... I didn't check others.


For the bug fix we could just add the __aligned(4) and leave the rest to a
separate patch.
