No, it still would blow up without locking around fence_remove/add_callback too..

Personally I would just add the callback once, then remove it in destructor.

Something like:

poll:
if (!atomic_xchg(&sync_file->enabled, 1)) {
if (fence_add_callback(...) < 0)
wake up sync_file->wq, fence is signaled
}

sync_file_free:
if (atomic_read(&sync_file->enabled))
fence_remove_callback(...);

fence_put()

It's not like fence can disable hw signaling when all callbacks are removed anyway,
it's harmless to keep it on the list.
