NAK, GFP_ATOMIC should be avoided.

The correct solution is to move the allocation out of the spinlock or drop the lock and reacquire.
Yeah +1. Especially in a case like this where it's obvious to prevent. :)
Another possibility would to not allocate the dummy fence at all.

E.g. we just need a global instance of that which is always signaled and
has a reference count of +1.
