Userspace doesn't need to trigger fences. It can do a buffer idle wait, and postpone submitting new commands until after it's done using the buffer. Kernel space doesn't need the root hole you created by giving a dereferencing a pointer passed from userspace. Your next exercise should be to write a security exploit from the api you created here. It's the only way to learn how to write safe code.
