Patches 27 and 28 are attempt to fix that. I assumed that if some code is
calling fence_timeline_destroy() it wants to stop everything so I

destroyed.

No one is using fence_timeline_destroy() in mainline now, so it is
definately a behaviour we can discuss.

+Tom Cherry and Dmitry Torokhov recently discovered that this was broken by the refactoring of Android sync on top of dma-buf fences.

Tom and Dmitry, did you send the proposed fix upstream?
