Makes the handling a bit more complex, but avoids the use of

v2: improve coding and documentation

I'm confused, right now there is only one write fence. So no need to
iterate, and also no need to add a TODO. If/when we add more write fences
then I think this needs to be revisited, and ofc then we do need to update
the set_fence helpers to carry an entire array of fences.
Well could be that I misunderstood you, but in your last explanation it
sounded like the drm_atomic_set_fence_for_plane() function needs fixing
anyway because a plane could have multiple BOs.

So in my understanding what we need is a
drm_atomic_add_dependency_for_plane() function which records that a certain
fence needs to be signaled before a flip.
Yeah that's another issue, but in practice there's no libva which decodes
into planar yuv with different fences between the planes. So not a bug in
practice.

But this is entirely orthogonal to you picking up the wrong fence here if
there's not exclusive fence set:

- old code: Either pick the exclusive fence, or not fence if the exclusive
   one is not set.

- new code: Pick the exclusive fence or the first shared fence

Hui what?

We use "dma_resv_iter_begin(&cursor, obj->resv, *false*);" here which means that only the exclusive fence is returned and no shared fences whatsoever.

My next step is to replace the boolean with a bunch of use case describing enums. I hope that will make it much clearer what's going on here.

Christian.

New behaviour is busted, because scanning out and reading from a buffer at
the same time (for the next frame, e.g. to copy over damaged areas or some
other tricks) is very much a supported thing. Atomic _only_ wants to look
at the exclusive fence slot, which mean "there is an implicitly synced
write to this buffers". Implicitly synced reads _must_ be ignored.



Now amdgpu doesn't have this distinction in its uapi, but many drivers do.

Support for more than one write fence then comes totally naturally.
