This fence is used by KFD to keep memory resident while user mode
queues are enabled. Trying to evict memory will trigger the
enable_signaling callback, which starts a KFD eviction, which
involves preempting user mode queues before signaling the fence.
There is one such fence per process.

v2:
* Grab a reference to mm_struct
* Dereference fence after NULL check
* Simplify fence release, no need to signal without anyone waiting
* Added signed-off-by Harish, who is the original author of this code

v3:
* update MAINTAINERS file
* change amd_kfd_ prefix to amdkfd_
* remove useless initialization of variable to NULL

v4:
* set amdkfd_fence_ops to be static
* Suggested by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
