dma_fence_chain containers cleanup signaled fences automatically, so
filter those out from arrays as well.

v2: fix missing walk over the array
v3: massively simplify the patch and actually update the description.

Hi Christian,

I'm sorry for digging this one out so late.

It looks like this particular patch affects merging Sync Fences, which 
is reflected by failing IGT test (igt@sw_sync)[1]. The failing subtests are:
   - sync_merge - merging different fences on the same timeline, neither
		 single nor merged fences are signaled

   - sync_merge_same - merging the fence with itself on the same
		 timeline, the fence didn't signal at all

   - sync_multi_timeline_wait - merging different fences on different
		 timelines; the subtest checks if counting fences of
		 various states works. Currently, it can only see 2
		 active fences, 0 signaling (should be 2 active,
		 1 signaling)

Reverting this commit on the top of drm-tip fixes the issue, but I'm not 
sure if it wouldn't impact other places in the code. Please let me know 
if I can be of any help.

All the best,
Karolina

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure what's going on here, but I can 
take a look today if time permits.

Do you have a description how to easy reproduce this? E.g. how to run 
just those specific igts?

Thanks,
Christian.

The reproduction with IGTs should be quite easy. You'll need to 
clone/download the IGT code and follow instructions for Building[1] the 
project (make sure you have meson and ninja installed):

   https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools

Once you have it up and running, go to <igt path>/build/tests, and run 
the subtests:

   ./sw_sync --run sync_merge
   ./sw_sync --run sync_merge_same
   ./sw_sync --run sync_multi_timeline_wait

You can run all the subtests with ./sw_sync, but I think these are the 
most relevant to you.

Many thanks,
Karolina

Thanks, I've already managed to reproduce it.

Not sure what's going on here, but could be that the test case was never 
correct in the first place. Need to double check.

Thanks,
Christian.

That's also a possibility, but I couldn't verify it before writing to 
you, as it's not my area of expertise.

Thanks for taking a look at this.
