That's not the semantics we need.

Please read how other drivers do this and at least _try_ to understand
it. I'm really loosing my patience here with you NAKing patches you're
not even understanding (or did you actually read and fully understand
the entire story I typed up here, and your NAK is on the entire
thing?). There's not much useful conversation to be had with that
approach. And with drivers I mean kernel + userspace here.

That's the other frustration part: You're trying to fix this purely in
the kernel. This is exactly one of these issues why we require open
source userspace, so that we can fix the issues correctly across the
entire stack. And meanwhile you're steadfastily refusing to even look
at that the userspace side of the picture.

Also I thought through your tlb issue, why are you even putting these
tlb flush fences into the shard dma_resv slots? If you store them
somewhere else in the amdgpu private part, the oversync issues goes
away
- in your ttm bo move callback, you can just make your bo copy job
depend on them too (you have to anyway)
- even for p2p there's not an issue here, because you have the
->move_notify callback, and can then lift the tlb flush fences from
your private place to the shared slots so the exporter can see them.

The kernel move fences otoh are a bit more nasty to wring through the
p2p dma-buf interface. That one probably needs something new.
