Returning an array, but not telling the caller how many elements in the
array?

One too many * (=> sizeof(struct fence), not sizeof(struct fence *))

return kmemdup(&fence, sizeof(fence), GFP_KERNEL);

The documentation should emphasize that the fences in the
returned array have a "borrowed" reference (i.e. it does not return a
new reference to each fence).
