Two in one go: - it is allowed to call dma_fence_wait() while holding a dma_resv_lock(). This is fundamental to how eviction works with ttm, so required.
- it is allowed to call dma_fence_wait() from memory reclaim contexts, specifically from shrinker callbacks (which i915 does), and from mmu notifier callbacks (which amdgpu does, and which i915 sometimes also does, and probably always should, but that's kinda a debate). Also for stuff like HMM we really need to be able to do this, or things get real dicey.
Consequence is that any critical path necessary to get to a dma_fence_signal for a fence must never a) call dma_resv_lock nor b) allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL. Also by implication of dma_resv_lock(), no userspace faulting allowed. That's some supremely obnoxious limitations, which is why we need to sprinkle the right annotations to all relevant paths.
The one big locking context we're leaving out here is mmu notifiers, added in

mm/mmu_notifiers: add a lockdep map for invalidate_range_start/end
that one covers a lot of other callsites, and it's also allowed to wait on dma-fences from mmu notifiers. But there's no ready-made functions exposed to prime this, so I've left it out for now.
