Crap, hit enter to early before adding a cover letter.

This is the same patch as before, but as requested I'm keeping the
exclusive fence handling as it is for now.

Daniel can you double check this and/or make sure that it is tested?

I only smoke tested it and the code is so complicated that I'm not sure
I catched all side effects.
So I've thought about this some more, and we actually have docs for
how this is supposed to work:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/driver-api/dma-buf.html#implicit-fence-poll-support

Docs are pretty clear that we want both read and write for EPOLLOUT or
well both exclusive and shared fences. So I guess back to your actual
thing, but maybe we should get some acks from userspace people for it
(Michel, Pekka, Simon probably usual suspects).
Ok, sounds good to me. Going to send out a patch rebased to
drm-misc-fixes today.

The other thing I brought up and I haven't seen you reply to (maybe
missed it) is whether we shouldn't just use dma_resv_get_fences(). We
need to do the refcounting anyway, and this avoids us having to
open-code this very nasty code. Finally, and imo most important, this
is what's also used in drm_gem_fence_array_add_implicit(), which many
drivers use to handle their implicit in-fences. So would be nice to
have exactly matching code between that and what dma-buf poll does for
"can I read" and "can I write".

Thoughts?
Yeah, I've seen that. Just didn't had time to answer.

That goes into the same direction as my thinking that we need to
centralize the RCU and synchronization handling in general.

What I don't like about the approach is that dma_resv_get_fences() needs
to allocate memory. For a lot of use cases including dma_buf_poll that
is rather overkill.

To unify the handling I think we should use the iterator I've create the
prototype of. This way we only have an "for_write" parameter and the
iterator in return gives you all the fences you need.
Yeah I think in general I agree, especially in the CS code a bunch of
temporary allocations aren't great. But in dma_buf_poll I don't think
it's a place where anyone cares. That's why I think we can just use
that here and forget about all the trickiness. The gem helper otoh
wants an iterator (without retry even, since it's holding dma-resv
lock).

Well then I would rather say we make nails with heads and grab the reservation lock in dma_buf_poll.

That has at least less overhead than allocating memory, cause essentially what dma_buf_poll needs is a dma_resv_get_next_unsignaled_or_null_fence().

When you then extend that  approach we could say we have an enum
describing the use case. Something like:
1. For explicit sync, just give me all the must sync fences from memory
management.
2. For read, give me all the writers and memory management fences.
3. For write, give me all the readers and writers and memory management
fences.
4. For memory management, give me everything including things like PTE
updates/TLB flushes.

So instead of asking for some specific type of fence(s) the drivers
tells the dma_resv object about their use case and in return get the
fences they need to wait for.

This essentially means that we move the decision what to wait for from
the drivers into the dma_resv object, which I think would be a massive
improvement.

Functions like dma_resv_get_list(), dma_resv_get_excl(),
dma_resv_get_excl_rcu() etc would then essentially be deprecated and
instead you use dma_resv_get_fences(), dma_resv_for_each_fences(),
dma_resv_wait_timeout(), dma_resv_test_signaled() with a proper use case.

What do you think?
Yeah I think in general the direction makes sense, at least long term.
I think for now it's better to go with simplest solutions first until
we have everyone aligned on one set of rules, and have these rules
properly documented.

I think that looks rather good now, doesn't it?

Daniel pointed me towards this function and there are multiple obvious problems
in the implementation.

First of all the retry loop is not working as intended. In general the retry
makes only sense if you grab the reference first and then check the sequence
values.

It's also good practice to keep the reference around when installing callbacks
to fences you don't own.

And last the whole implementation was unnecessary complex and rather hard to
understand which could lead to probably unexpected behavior of the IOCTL.

Fix all this by reworking the implementation from scratch.

Only mildly tested and needs a thoughtful review of the code.

v2: fix the reference counting as well
v3: keep the excl fence handling as is for stable
