Just commenting on the kerneldoc here.

If we're going to do this....

We probably want a note in here about the ordering of this enum. I'm not even sure that comparing enum values is good or that all values will have a strict ordering that can be useful. It would definitely make me nervous if anything outside dma-resv.c is doing comparisons on these values.

We need to link here to both dma_buf.resv and from there to here.
Also we had a fair amount of text in the old dma_resv fields which should
probably be included here.

I think the above would benefit from at least a link each to &dma_buf.resv
for further discusion.
Plus the READ flag needs a huge warning that in general it does _not_
guarantee that neither there's no writes possible, nor that the writes can
be assumed mistakes and dropped (on buffer moves e.g.).
Drivers can only make further assumptions for driver-internal dma_resv
objects (e.g. on vm/pagetables) or when the fences are all fences of the
same driver (e.g. the special sync rules amd has that takes the fence
owner into account).
We have this documented in the dma_buf.resv rules, but since it came up
again in a discussion with Thomas H. somewhere, it's better to hammer this
in a few more time. Specically in generally ignoring READ fences for
buffer moves (well the copy job, memory freeing still has to wait for all
of them) is a correctness bug.
Maybe include a big warning that really the difference between READ and
WRITE should only matter for implicit sync, and _not_ for anything else
the kernel does.
I'm assuming the actual replacement is all mechanical, so I skipped that
one for now, that's for next year :-)
