Currently we install a callback for performing poll on a dma-buf,
irrespective of the timeout. This involves taking a spinlock, as well as
unnecessary work, and greatly reduces scaling of poll(.timeout=0) across
multiple threads.

We can query whether the poll will block prior to installing the
callback to make the busy-query fast.

Single thread: 60% faster
8 threads on 4 (+4 HT) cores: 600% faster

Still not quite the perfect scaling we get with a native busy ioctl, but
poll(dmabuf) is faster due to the quicker lookup of the object and
avoiding drm_ioctl().

Need to strike the r-b here, since Christian König pointed out that
objects won't magically switch signalling on.
Oh, it also means that

     reservation: wait only with non-zero timeout specified (v3)
When the timeout value passed to reservation_object_wait_timeout_rcu
     is zero, no wait should be done if the fences are not signaled.
Return '1' for idle and '0' for busy if the specified timeout is '0'
     to keep consistent with the case of non-zero timeout.
v2: call fence_put if not signaled in the case of timeout==0 v3: switch to reservation_object_test_signaled_rcu Signed-off-by: Jammy Zhou <Jammy.Zhou@xxxxxxx>

is wrong. And reservation_object_test_signaled_rcu() is unreliable.

Ups indeed, that patch is wrong as well.

I suggest that we just enable the signaling in this case as well.

Christian.
