Thanks for looking at this.

Users of intel_gt_retire_requests_timeout() expect 0 return value on
success.  However, we have no protection from passing back 0 potentially
returned by a call to dma_fence_wait_timeout() when it succedes right
after its timeout has expired.

Replace 0 with -ETIME before potentially using the timeout value as return
code, so -ETIME is returned if there are still some requests not retired
after timeout, 0 otherwise.

v2: Move the added lines down so flush_submission() is not affected.

This will return error, -ETIME when 0 timeout is passed,
intel_gt_retire_requests().
Yes, but only when active_count is not 0 after we loop through
timelines->active_list calling retire_requests() on each and counting up
failures in active_count.

Moving this line just after the call to dma_fence_wait_timeout should solve the controversy.

We don't want that.
When 0 timeout is passed to intel_gt_retire_requests(), do we really want it
to return 0 unconditionally, or are we rather interested if those calls to
retire_requests() succeeded?

I think you can use a separate variable to store
return val from the dma_fence_wait_timeout()

   	return active_count ? timeout : 0;
If active count is 0, we return 0 regardless of timeout value, and that's OK.
However, if active_count is not 0, we shouldn't return 0, I believe, we should
return either remaining time if some left, or error (-ETIME) if not.  If you
think I'm wrong, please explain why.

Thanks,
Janusz
