staging: android: sync: Signal pt before sync_timeline object gets destroyed
There is a race condition
Assume we have *one* sync_fence object, with *one* sync_pt
which belongs to *one* sync_timeline, given this condition,
sync_timeline->kref will have two counts, one for sync_timeline
(implicit) and another for sync_pt.
Assume following is the situation on CPU
Theead-1 : (Thread which calls sync_timeline_destroy())
-> (some function calls)
-> sync_timeline_destory()
-> sync_timeline_signal() (CPU is inside this
function after putting reference to sync_timeline)
At this time Thread-2 comes and does following
Thread-2 : (fclose on fence fd)
> sync_fence_release() -> because of fclose() on fence object
-> sync_fence_free()
-> sync_pt_free()
-> kref_put(&pt->parent->kref, sync_timeline_free);
-> sync_timeline_free() (CPU is inside this because
this time kref will be zero after _put)
Thread-2 will free sync_timeline object before Thread-1
has finished its work inside sync_timeline_signal.
With this change we signals all sync_pt before putting
reference to sync_timeline object.
