since the knowledge for these being NULL (or with the wrong alignment)
are in the init/reinit functions, wouldn't it be better to just add a
fence_nop() and assign it there instead this likely() here?
Maybe? I prefer the way it is.

like:
if (WARN_ON(!fn || (unsigned long)fn & ~I915_SW_FENCE_MASK))
fence->flags = (unsigned long)sw_fence_dummy_notify;
else
fence->flags = (unsigned long)fn;
f you return here instead of calling i915_sw_fence_reinit(), aren't you
just going to use uninitialized memory later? At least in the selftests,
which allocate it with kmalloc()... I didn't check others.
I don't think so, maybe the fence won't work but it won't blow up
either.
For the bug fix we could just add the __aligned(4) and leave the rest to a
separate patch.
The bug was sw_fence_dummy_notify in gt/intel_context.c was not 4 byte
align which triggered a BUG_ON during boot which blank screened a
laptop. Jani / Tvrtko suggested that we make the BUG_ON to WARN_ONs so
if someone makes this mistake in the future kernel should boot albiet
with a WARNING.
yes, I understood. But afaics with WARN_ON you are allowing it to
continue and may be using uninitialized memory later, just causing other
problems down the line, which may be equally difficult to debug.
what I suggested is that there is the easy fix to apply to the current
rcX kernel, adding __aligned(4) to sw_fence_dummy_notify() (patch 1).
And there is the additional protection being added here (patch 2) which
is subject to the debate.
The long term fix is just pull out the I915_SW_FENCE_MASK (stealing bits
from a poitner) and we don't have to worry any of this.
Patch 2 may not even be needed if you're going that route. But we are
not only protecting against unaligned, but also from code calling
i915_sw_fence_init() with a NULL fn.
