When the execbuf call receives an in-fence it will get the dma_fence
related to that fence fd and wait on it before submitting the draw call.

On the out-fence side we get fence returned by the submitted draw call
and attach it to a sync_file and send the sync_file fd to userspace. On
error -1 is returned to userspace.

Changes since v3:
    - Move all in_fence handling to the same VIRTGPU_EXECBUF_FENCE_FD_IN block
Fwiw my suggestion was to explicitly document whether the IOCTL can
support, simultaneously, IN and OUT fence.

Yes, that would be good.  Code looks like it is supposed to work, but
explicitly saying so in the commit message would be nice.

On it! Will send out a v5.


Also: should we use separate fields for in/out fds?

I'm not sure I understand which fields you're referring to.

fence_in_fd & fence_out_fd in the ioctl struct (patch #2).

I had a look into this and how other drivers are doing it.
msm[1] and etnaviv[2] seem to use the same dual-use variable.

Ok, lets do it the same way then.
What is the status of the userspace side of this?

The patch is hosted here[1], but is as of yet unmerged.

I know the drm subsystem requires a userspace implementation of
all features, but does it have to be upstreamed first?
