[PATCH v3 3/8] drm/fb_helper: Introduce hotplug_suspend/resume()

From: Lyude Paul
Date: Mon Jul 30 2018 - 20:40:22 EST


I'm sure I don't need to tell you that fb_helper's locking is a mess.
That being said; fb_helper's locking mess can seriously complicate the
runtime suspend/resume operations of drivers because it can invoke
atomic commits and connector probing from anywhere that calls
drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event(). Since most drivers use
drm_fb_helper_output_poll_changed() as their output_poll_changed
handler, this can happen in every single context that can fire off a
hotplug event. An example:

[ 246.775522] =============================================

Because of this, there's an unreasonable number of places that drm
drivers would need to insert special handling to prevent trying to
resume the device from all of these contexts that can deadlock. It's
difficult even to try synchronizing with fb_helper in these contexts as
well, since any of them could introduce a deadlock by waiting to acquire
the top-level fb_helper mutex, while it's being held by another thread
that might potentially call down to pm_runtime_get_sync().

Luckily-there's no actual reason we need to allow fb_helper to handle
hotplugging at all when runtime suspending a device. If a hotplug
happens during a runtime suspend operation, there's no reason the driver
can't just re-enable fbcon's hotplug handling and bring it up to speed
with hotplugging events it may have missed by calling
drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event().

So, let's make this easy and just add helpers to handle disabling and
enabling fb_helper connector probing() without having to potentially
wait on fb_helper to finish it's work. This will let us fix the runtime
suspend/resume deadlocks that we've been experiencing with nouveau,
along with being able to fix some of the incorrect runtime PM core
interaction that other DRM drivers currently perform to work around
these issues.
