              which already has to deal with the mess, sharing the
              burden. (But it<br>
              does require a trivial patch to dma-fence-array to record
              the first<br>
              signaled fence.)<br>
              <br>
              However, this installs the proxy into syncobj->fence
              with the result<br>
              that any concurrent wait also become a WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT.
              The behaviour<br>
              of drm_syncobj is then quite inconsistent, sometimes it
              will wait for a<br>
              future fence, sometimes it will report an error.<span

        <div class="gmail_extra">Yeah, that's not good.  I thought about
          a variety of solutions to try and re-use more core dma_fence
          code.  Ultimately I chose the current one because it takes a
          snapshot of the syncobjs and then, from that point forward,
          it's consistent with its snapshot.  Nothing I was able to come

    <br>
    As Chris pointed out, that's really not a good idea.<br>
    <br>
    Most of the time we need the behavior of reporting an error and only
    when the flag is given wait until some fence shows up.<br>
    <br>
    In general I suggest that we only support this use case in the form
    of a wait_event_interruptible() on setting the first fence on an
    object.<br>
    <br>
    Waiting on the first one of multiple objects wouldn't be possible
    (you would always wait till all objects have fences), but I think
    that this is acceptable.<br>
    <br>
    The big advantage of the wait_event_interruptible() interface is
    that your condition checking and process handling is bullet prove,
    as far as I have seen so far your code is a bit buggy in that
    direction.<br>
