Re: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH drm-misc-next 5/5] drm/imagination: vm: make use of GPUVM's drm_exec helper

[Donald Robson <Donald.Robson@imgtec.com>]

Hi Danilo,

Apologies - I guess I should have submitted a patch to handle zero fences in your
locking functions with the final patch series.

drm_gpuvm_exec_lock() with vm_exec->extra.fn() for the part below.  Is there
a reason not to do that now?
