Description

Both future hardware and also user-visible APIs, are demanding that we discard our previous fence-based synchronisation model and allow arbitrary synchronisation primitives similar to Windows/DirectX 'timeline semaphores'. Outline the problems in trying to integrate this with our previous predictable fence-based model with dma_fence and dma_resv and discuss some potential paths and solutions.
