From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If userspace already dropped its own reference by closing the sw_sync fence fd we might end up in a deadlock where dma_fence_is_signaled_locked() will trigger the release of the fence a thus try to hold the lock to remove the fence from the list. We need to grab a reference to the fence before calling into this chain if we want to avoid this issue.
