With things like pipelined evictions, VRAM pages can be marked as free
and yet still have some active kernel fences, with the idea that the
next caller to allocate the memory will respect them. However it looks
like we are missing synchronisation for KMD internal buffers, like
page-tables, lrc etc. For userspace objects we should already have the
required synchronisation for CPU access via the fault handler, and
likewise for GPU access when vm_binding them.
To fix this synchronise against any kernel fences for all KMD objects at
creation. This should resolve some severe corruption seen during
evictions.
v2 (Matt B):
- Revamp the comment explaining this. Also mention why USAGE_KERNEL is
correct here.
v3 (Thomas):
- Make sure to use ctx.interruptible for the wait.

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.
