Hi Chris,
My concern with going in this direction was that we potentially allow an application to allocate a lot of kernel memory but not a lot of fds by creating lots of fences and then closing the fds but never signaling them. Is that not an issue?
I did look to see if there was a quick way we could couple into the sync_file release itself to remove the syncpt from the timeline, but decided that for a debug feature, it wasn't a pressing concern.
Maybe now is the time to ask: are you using sw_sync outside of validation? -Chris
