Well that's almost what we have right now with the exception that
drivers are allowed (actually must for correctness when updating
fences) the ww_mutexes for dma-bufs (or other buffer objects). Locking
correctness is enforced with some extremely nasty lockdep annotations
+ additional debugging infrastructure enabled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH. We really need to be able to hold
dma-buf ww_mutexes while updating fences or waiting for them. And
obviously for ->wait we need non-atomic context, not just
non-interrupt.
Agreed that any shared locks are out of the way (especially stuff like
dev->struct_mutex or other non-strictly driver-private stuff, i915 is
really bad here still).
So from the core fence framework I think we already have exactly this,
and we only need to adjust the radeon implementation a bit to make it
less risky and invasive to the radeon driver logic.
