The merge function initially handled only individual fences and arrays which in turn were created by the merge function. This allowed to create the new array by a simple merge sort based on the fence context number.
The problem is now that since the addition of timeline sync objects userspace can create chain containers in basically any fence context order.
If those are merged together it can happen that we create really large arrays since the merge sort algorithm doesn't work any more.
So put an insert sort behind the merge sort which kicks in when the input fences are not in the expected order. This isn't as efficient as a heap sort, but has better properties for the most common use case.

Having ventured into this function for the first time, I can say that this is some smart code which is not easy to grasp. It could definitely benefit from a high level comment before the do-while loop to explain what it is going to do.
Next and tmp local variable names I also wonder if could be renamed to something more descriptive.
And the algorithmic complexity of the end result, given the multiple loops and gotos, I have no idea what it could be.
Has a dumb solution been considered like a two-pass with a pessimistically allocated fence array been considered? Like:
Populate array with all unsignalled unwrapped fences. (O(count))
Bog standard include/linux/sort.h by context and seqno.
(O(count*log (count)))
- Walk array and squash same context to latest fence. (Before this
patch that wasn't there, right?). (O(count)) (Overwrite in place, no memcpy needed.)
Algorithmic complexity of that would be obvious and code much simpler.
FWIW something like the below passes selftests. How does it look to you? Do you think more or less efficient and more or less readable?
Yeah I was considering the exact same thing.
What hold me back was the fact that the heap sort() implementation is really inefficient for the most common use case of this. In other words two arrays with fences already sorted is basically just O(count).
And I'm also not sure how many fences we see in those arrays in practice. With Vulkan basically trying to feed multiple contexts to keep all CPUs busy we might have quite a number here.
