This still doesn't do what you expect it to.

I think this is what you want is for userspace to do:

struct sync_file_info info;

info.flags = info.num_fences = 0;
ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FENCE_INFO, &info);
if (info.num_fences) {
info.sync_fence_info = (uintptr)kcalloc(info.num_fences, sizeof(struct sync_fence_info));
ioctl(fd, SYNC_IOC_FENCE_INFO, &info);
}

Maybe userspace could preallocate the max in advance and set num_fences higher,

kernel would do something like:

num_fences = min(info.num_fences, sync->num_fences);
struct sync_fence_info array[num_fences];

info.num_fences = sync->num_fences;
if (num_fences &&
    copy_to_user((void * __user)(unsigned long)info.sync_fence_info, array, num_fences  * sizeof(array)))
 return -EFAULT;
