Well maybe there's also an infinite wait inside the old
dma_resv_get_fences, what I mean is that when you have some signals
interrupting you, then the infinite wait is already there due to a retry
loop outside of the syscall even.

Anyway _any_ userspace which wants to use this wait on a shared bo and
waits to be safe against the other end adding more rendering has to use
something else (like the sync_file export ioctl on the dma-buf that Jason
typed). Trying to make this ioctl here against fence addition is just bs.

Please push to drm-misc-next or wherever (assuming CI is happy) and feel
free to add my ack.
