It is normal that binary syncobj replaces the underlying fence.

Do we hit this with one of the syncobj igts?

With one of the tests sitting on the mailing list waiting for review, yes.

Unforturnately, No, It's only hit in AMDGPU path, which combines 
timeline and binary to same path when timeline is enabled.

Looks like lionel has something, maybe help review that?

We can totally build that case with sw_fences which is what one of the 
IGT tests does.

Just had a few exchanges with Chris about this.
Chris suggests that if we're about to add a point to the timeline in an 
unordered fashion, actually better not add it at all.

What's your take on this?
I'm fine with this, but rather than add another variant of add_point() 
maybe we change change the existing.

Thanks,

-Lionel

That is a clear NAK. See not adding a point at all means we lose some 
synchronization and that is not something we can do here.

In other words syncing to much if userspace does something nasty is ok 
and defensive programmed, but not syncing at all could have unforeseen 
consequences.

Another idea would be to add the fence, but also set an error flag and 
deny any further signaling on that syncobj.

Christian.

So if process A signals 7, process B detects that and signals 3 and then
process A tries to insert something which waits on 7 and signals 8, what
happens?  My understanding is that it "breaks" the timeline and so, from
the perspective of process A, its signal operation on 7 is gone and it's
attempt to wait on 7 will either -EINVAL because the kernel can't find the
time point or else just sit there.  Am I understanding this correctly?  If
so, it sounds more like an attack vector than defensive programming to me.

Yes, more syncornization is generally better than less.  However, if you're
screwing up your syncronization from userspace and getting wrong rendering
results, that's your fault.  If you're causing your compositor to suddenly
start seeing -EINVAL which gets turned into VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST, that's a
lot worse IMO.  I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to be robust in this
case; I'm just concerned that the suggest solution isn't.
