Peter Zijlstra gave a lot of feedback and thanks to him, I think both the function names and docs are a lot more sane. There is also a good consensus on renaming dma-buf's struct fence to be struct dma_fence, allowing for use of the cleaner name for the core struct.
A quick overview of a fence is that it is a struct completion that waits on multiple events (rather than just one). -Chris
