Hi all,

This is an attempt to improve fence support on Sync File. The basic idea
is to have only sync_file->fence and store all fences there, either as
normal fences or fence_arrays. That way we can remove some potential
duplication when using fence_array with sync_file: the duplication of the array
of fences and the duplication of fence_add_callback() for all fences.

Now when creating a new sync_file during the merge process sync_file_set_fence()
will set sync_file->fence based on the number of fences for that sync_file. If
there is more than one fence a fence_array is created. One important advantage
approach is that we only add one fence callback now, no matter how many fences
there are in a sync_file - the individual callbacks are added by fence_array.

Two fence ops had to be created to help abstract the difference between handling
fences and fences_arrays: .teardown() and .get_fences(). The former run needed
on fence_array, and the latter just return a copy of all fences in the fence.
I'm not so sure about adding those two, speacially .get_fences(). What do you
think?

Clearly not a good idea to add this a fence ops, cause those are specialized functions for only a certain fence implementation (the fence_array).

What you should do is try to cast the fence in your sync file using to_fence_array() and then you can access the fences in the array.

Christian.


Please comment! Thanks.
