Using jiffies as a timeout from userspace is weird even if theoretically exists possiblity of acquiring jiffies via getconf. Unfortunately this method is unreliable and the returned value may vary from the one configured in the kernel config. Now timeout is expressed in nanoseconds and its interpretation depends on setting DRM_XE_UFENCE_WAIT_ABSTIME flag. Relative timeout (flag is not set) means fence expire at now() + timeout. Absolute timeout (flag is set) means that the fence expires at exact point of time. Passing negative timeout means we will wait "forever" by setting wait time to MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
