The flags passed to the wait_entry.func are passed onwards to try_to_wake_up(), which has a very particular interpretation for its wake_flags. In particular, beyond the published WF_SYNC, it has a few internal flags as well. Since we passed the fence->error down the chain via the flags argument, these ended up in the default_wake_function confusing the kernel/sched.
