[PATCH 2/3] drm/dp_mst: Don't show connectors as connected before probing available PBN

From: Lyude Paul
Date: Wed Mar 04 2020 - 17:36:35 EST


It's next to impossible for us to do connector probing on topologies
without occasionally racing with userspace, since creating a connector
itself causes a hotplug event which we have to send before probing the
available PBN of a connector. Even if we didn't have this hotplug event
sent, there's still always a chance that userspace started probing
connectors before we finished probing the topology.

This can be a problem when validating a new MST state since the
connector will be shown as connected briefly, but without any available
PBN - causing any atomic state which would enable said connector to fail
with -ENOSPC. So, let's simply workaround this by telling userspace new
MST connectors are disconnected until we've finished probing their PBN.
Since we always send a hotplug event at the end of the link address
probing process, userspace will still know to reprobe the connector when
we're ready.
