[ Upstream commit 03e4e0a9e0 ]
Ages ago Rob Clark noted,
"Currently with fence-array, we have a potential deadlock situation. If
we fence_add_callback() on an array-fence, the array-fence's lock is
acquired first, and in it's ->enable_signaling() callback, it will install
cbs on it's array-member fences, so the array-member's lock is acquired
second.
But in the signal path, the array-member's lock is acquired first, and
the array-fence's lock acquired second."
Rob proposed either extensive changes to dma-fence to unnest the
fence-array signaling, or to defer the signaling onto a workqueue. This
is a more refined version of the later, that should keep the latency
of the fence signaling to a minimum by using an irq-work, which is
executed asap.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
