That is expected behavior and no need to worry.

The functions in amdgpu_fence.c are the callbacks to implement 
amdgpu_fence_ops. The function to_amdgpu_fence() checks if the ops of 
the fence are amdgpu_fence_ops, so it is guaranteed that the functions 
are called with an amdgpu_fence structure.

Christian.
