Ok, this makes it a lot clearer. Previously I though that we have some bug in dma_fence_add_callback().

This is essentially the wrong place to call this, the finished fence should be enabled by the caller and not here.

There is also another problem in dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling(), it returns early when the fence is already signaled:

        if (test_bit(DMA_FENCE_FLAG_SIGNALED_BIT, &fence->flags))
                return;

Please remove that one first.


Why we even need this explicit call if dma_fence_add_callback calls __dma_fence_enable_signaling anyway ?

Thanks,
Christian.
