The num_fences, count, i, and j variables in dma_fence_dedup_array() and __dma_fence_unwrap_merge() have inconsistent integer types, mixing both unsigned int and int.
Use type size_t consistently for these instead, and update the return type of dma_fence_dedup_array() accordingly.

The rest of the subsystems (dma_resv_reserve_fences, drm_exec, drm_gpuvm, xe, nouveau, etc) uses "unsigned int" for num_fences, for example the amdgpu caller in amdgpu_userq_fence.c.
You mention that because you can't / won't change them?
My suggestion actually has been to go for `unsigned int`. Christian opinioned that it should be size_t. Shouldn't be a big deal, though, my issue was just the possibility for negative numbers.
Christian, would it be a bit better to be consistent with the parties Shayan mentions?

Good point.

Yeah, unsigned int would probably work as well. But ARRAY_SIZE() returns size_t if I'm not completely mistaken and I have seen size_t being used elsewhere as well.
Christian, would it be a bit better to be consistent with the parties Shayan mentions?
For the amdgpu use cases I don't care much because we limit num_fences to 16bit anyway and don't allow larger allocations.
The drm_exec and drm_gpuvm should definitely be fixed as well. Not sure about XE or Nouveau,
It should just not be a signed type anywhere, cause that can indeed mean trouble.
Regards, Christian.
