Is that https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/dma-buf.html#dma-fence-uabi-sync-file ?

That whole page never mentions e.g. WAIT_AVAILABLE, so at least the
flags are not there. Does not mention syncobj_wait either.

I could ask where the real non-IGT userspace is or the plan for it,
too, since this is new DRM UAPI.
