Correct. The whole VM is preempted since we don't know which queue is
using which BO.

The tricky part is that at least for us we need to do this *before* the
fence is signaled.
This way we can do something like:
retry:
mutex_lock(&lock);
if (dma_fence_is_signaled(preemept_fence)) {
mutex_unlock(&lock);
flush_work(resume_work);
gotot retry;
}
To make sure that we have a valid and working VM before we publish the
user fence anywhere and preempting the VM will wait for this user fence
to complete.

That part was actually obvious. But I would expected that to be push
interface instead of a pull interface.
E.g. the preemption fence would also provide something like a manager
object which has a mutex, the last exported user fence and the necessary
functionality to update this user fence.
The tricky part is really to get this dance right between signaling the
preemption fence and not allowing installing a new user fence before the
resume worker has re-created the VM.

You would need to annotate that as nested lock for lockdep and the
dma_fence framework currently doesn't allow that.

Yeah I that is basically what we do at the moment since you also need to
make sure that no new user fence is installed while you wait for the
latest to signal.
