In this case if the sync was to i915 the i915 lockup procedure would take care of itself. It wouldn't fix radeon, but it would at least unblock your intel card again. I haven't specifically added a special case to attempt to unblock external fences, but I've considered it. :-)
Actually the i915 reset stuff relies crucially on being able to kick
all waiters holding driver locks. Since the current fence code only
exposes an opaque wait function without exposing the underlying wait
queue we won't be able to sleep on both the fence queue and the reset
queue. So would pose a problem if we add fence_wait calls to our
driver.
And apart from that I really think that I misunderstood Maarten. But his
explanation sounds like i915 would do a reset because Radeon is locked
up, right?
Well if that's really the case then I would question the interface even
more, cause that is really nonsense.
