So far we had the approach of using a directed acyclic graph with the dma_resv obj. This turned out to have many downsides, especially it means that every single driver and user of this interface needs to be aware of this restriction when adding fences. If the rules for the DAG are not followed then we end up with potential hard to debug memory corruption, information leaks or even elephant big security holes because we allow userspace to access freed up memory. Since we already took a step back from that by always looking at all fences we now go a step further and stop dropping the shared fences when a new exclusive one is added. v2: Drop some now superflous documentation v3: Add some more documentation for the new handling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
