How about using a single static stub fence like I suggested?
Sorry, I don't get your meanings, how to do that?

Add a new function drm_syncobj_stub_fence_init() which is called from drm_core_init() when the module is loaded.

In drm_syncobj_stub_fence_init() you initialize one static stub_fence which is then used over and over again.
Seems it would not work, we could need more than one stub fence.

Mhm, why? I mean it is just a signaled fence, context and sequence number are irrelevant.

Since its reference count never goes down to zero it should never be freed. In doubt maybe add a .free callback which just calls BUG() to catch reference count issues.

Christian.


Thanks,
David
