The API sounds/looks good to me, makes sense to let driver opt in/out
via the ordered_in_vb2 thing. Thanks for implementing it!

I think there's still some races on vb->in_fence. Couldn't the
callback on any of the buffers in the queued_list have their callback
run at any moment?

That could make this loop do bad things, and similarly the loop in
vb2_start_streaming() which calls __enqueue_in_driver().

Just a stylistic thing - you could invert this conditional and return
early, saving a level of indentation below.

I'm not sure if it's right to get a new fence_context every time here.
The comment on dma_fence_context_counter sounds like the vb2_queue
should have a single context of its own.

Seems like the refcounting isn't quite right here.

If you land in "else if (!fence && q->last_fence)", then "fence" gets
a new reference to q->last_fence, and you take another one here -
which looks like one too many.

I _think_ the right thing to do is just give the previous reference on
q->last_fence to "fence", without taking a new one:

} else if (!fence && q->last_fence) {
fence = q->last_fence;
}

That's analogous to the other path where fence is not-NULL, and the
fence-array takes ownership of the existing references on fence and
q->last_fence, without taking new references.

Please double check my logic though!

Between here, __set_in_fence() and vb2_qbuf() there's a reference
leaked on "fence" in the case of error. I'm not sure what semantics
you'd like, but it should be clear whose responsibility it is to clear
up "fence" if __set_in_fence() fails (at the moment, looks like no-one
does).

>+ }

... and if __set_in_fence() succeeds, then vb->in_fence now owns the
reference on "fence" that was passed in, so I guess you should set
fence = NULL here.

I think this should be vb->in_fence now, and the same for all further
uses of "fence" in this function.

Just spotted that you should probably handle the -EINVAL case here and
jump to err.

The callback could have run just before this, clearing vb->in_fence
and ending up with __enqueue_in_driver() getting called twice.

In DRM a fence_fd of -1 means "already signaled" - should that be
allowed here too?
