From: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 13:59:24 +0100 Subject: dma-buf/dma-fence: Extract __dma_fence_is_later()

From: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

commit 8111477663813caa1a4469cfe6afaae36cd04513 upstream.

Often we have the task of comparing two seqno known to be on the same context, so provide a common __dma_fence_is_later().
