When waiting for a syncobj timeline point whose fence has not yet been
submitted with the WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT flag, a callback is registered using
drm_syncobj_fence_add_wait and the thread is put to sleep until the
timeout expires. If the fence is submitted before then,
drm_syncobj_add_point will wake up the sleeping thread immediately which
will proceed to wait for the fence to be signaled.
However, if the WAIT_AVAILABLE flag is used instead,
drm_syncobj_fence_add_wait won't get called, meaning the waiting thread
will always sleep for the full timeout duration, even if the fence gets
submitted earlier. If it turns out that the fence *has* been submitted
by the time it eventually wakes up, it will still indicate to userspace
that the wait completed successfully (it won't return -ETIME), but it
will have taken much longer than it should have.
To fix this, we must call drm_syncobj_fence_add_wait if *either* the
WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT flag or the WAIT_AVAILABLE flag is set. The only
difference being that with WAIT_FOR_SUBMIT we will also wait for the
fence to be signaled after it has been submitted while with
WAIT_AVAILABLE we will return immediately.

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.
