Well that change is obviously incorrect.

When dma_fence_add_callback() fails we already call dma_fence_put() and drop the reference.

When the dma_fence_add_callback() call succeeds the callback will drop the reference.

The problem here is that the return code of dma_fence_add_callback() is an integer error code instead of a bool and basically has the reverse meaning than what people usually expect.

I have it on my TODO list for years to fix that, but never found the time to actually do it. If anybody wants to volunteer then please go ahead.

Christian.
