The core DMA-buf framework needs to enable signaling

can forget to enable signaling before the fence is signaled.
To avoid this scenario on the debug kernel, check the
DMA_FENCE_FLAG_ENABLE_SIGNAL_BIT status bit before checking
the signaling bit status to confirm that enable_signaling
is enabled.
You might want to put this patch at the end of the series to avoid
breaking the kernel in between.

CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is certainly wrong, probably better to check for
CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH here.
Apart from that looks good to me,
What's the full story in this series - I'm afraid the cover letter does not make it clear to a casual reader like myself? Where does the difference between debug and non debug kernel come from?
And how do the proposed changes relate to the following kerneldoc excerpt:
* Since many implementations can call dma_fence_signal() even when before
* @enable_signaling has been called there's a race window, where the
* dma_fence_signal() might result in the final fence reference being
* released and its memory freed. To avoid this, implementations of this
* callback should grab their own reference using dma_fence_get(), to be
* released when the fence is signalled (through e.g. the interrupt
* handler).
*
* This callback is optional. If this callback is not present, then the
* driver must always have signaling enabled.
Is it now an error, or should be impossible condition, for "is signaled" to return true _unless_ signaling has been enabled?
If the statement (in a later patch) is signalling should always be explicitly enabled by the callers of dma_fence_add_callback, then what about the existing call to __dma_fence_enable_signaling from dma_fence_add_callback?
Or if the rules are changing shouldn't kerneldoc be updated as part of the series?
