Those have no memory barriers so not sure I want to think about racyness and how to solve it. Mhm, that is a bit more problematic. ops is only set to NULL when neither free nor wait is specified, so checking is signaled is still the right thing to do for drivers which uses those callbacks but still want to have the RCU protection of the returned strings.

I would just avoid adding more TTM exec code dependencies. We also have the always signaled stub fence for such use cases.
