Just want to describe the use case we have: we support submission in
batch (several jobs passed to the submit ioctl) with a
submit-all-or-nothing model: if any of the job description is passed
wrong args or causes an allocation error, we fail the whole group. In
the submission path, we want to prepare GEMs for all jobs. That means
adding enough fence slots for the number job finished fences. Given not
all jobs will access the same set of BOs, I thought I could use
duplicates support to make my life easier, because otherwise I have to
collect all BOs upfront, store them in a temporary array, and keep
track of the number of fence slots needed for each of them. I guess
the other option would be to over-estimate the number of slots and make
it equal to num_jobs for all BOs.
