Because they're using fence_parent, which should probably be renamed to fence_to_timeline() The name makes it sound as if they could apply to all type of fences, I don't think this is the case. >> I also believe this should be done in multiple series. First series should de-stage the userspace fence framework. The next series should fix up android_fence and maybe rename it to timeline_fence since sync_fence is already used for the userspace fd, which would add more confusion? > Sure.

There's already code to add a sync_fence_create_dma export [1][2]. So if you want to de-stage it then there will be users for it. sync_pt otoh has no upstream in-kernel users. It was a wrapper to keep android drivers api compatible with the fence api.
