The timestamp and the cb_list are mutually exclusive, the cb_list can only be added to prior to being signaled (and once signaled we drain), while the timestamp is only valid upon being signaled. Both the timestamp and the cb_list are only valid while the fence is alive, and as soon as no references are held can be replaced by the rcu_head. By reusing the union for the timestamp, we squeeze the base dma_fence struct to 64 bytes on x86-64. v2: Sort the union chronologically Suggested-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com>.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
