[RFC 0/6] drm/fences: add in-fences to DRM

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

This is a first proposal to discuss the addition of in-fences support
to DRM. It adds a new struct to fence.c to abstract the use of sync_file
in DRM drivers. The new struct fence_collection contains a array with all
fences that a atomic commit needs to wait on

/**
 * struct fence_collection - aggregate fences together
 * @num_fences: number of fence in the collection.
 * @user_data: user data.
 * @func: user callback to put user data.
 * @fences: array of @num_fences fences.
 */
struct fence_collection {
       int num_fences;
       void *user_data;
       collection_put_func_t func;
       struct fence *fences[];
};


The fence_collection is allocated and filled by sync_file_fences_get() and
atomic_commit helpers can use fence_collection_wait() to wait the fences to
signal.

These patches depends on the sync ABI rework:

and the patch to de-stage the sync framework:

I also hacked together some sync support into modetest for testing:
