[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/vgem: Allow root to inject hanging fences onto dmabufs

[Chris Wilson]

When performing driver testing, one factor we want to test is how we
handle a foreign fence that is never signaled. We can wait on that fence
indefinitely, in which case the driver appears hung, or we can take some
remedial action (with risks regarding the state of any shared content).
Whatever the action choosen by the driver, in order to perform the test
we want to disable the safety feature of vgem fence (which is then used
to test implicit dma-buf fencing). This is regarded as a highly
dangerous feature and so hidden behind an expert config option and only
available to root when enabled.
