Hi Christian,
I'm sorry for digging this one out so late.

dma_fence_chain containers cleanup signaled fences automatically, so
filter those out from arrays as well.
v2: fix missing walk over the array
v3: massively simplify the patch and actually update the description.

It looks like this particular patch affects merging Sync Fences, which
is reflected by failing IGT test (igt@sw_sync)[1]. The failing subtests are:
- sync_merge - merging different fences on the same timeline, neither
single nor merged fences are signaled
- sync_merge_same - merging the fence with itself on the same
timeline, the fence didn't signal at all
- sync_multi_timeline_wait - merging different fences on different
timelines; the subtest checks if counting fences of
various states works. Currently, it can only see 2
active fences, 0 signaling (should be 2 active,
1 signaling)
Reverting this commit on the top of drm-tip fixes the issue, but I'm not
sure if it wouldn't impact other places in the code. Please let me know
if I can be of any help.
All the best,
Karolina
