    drm/fb-helper: Avoid race with DRM userspace · 03a9606e
    Noralf Trønnes authored
    drm_fb_helper_is_bound() is used to check if DRM userspace is in control.
    This is done by looking at the fb on the primary plane. By the time
    fb-helper gets around to committing, it's possible that the facts have
    changed.
    
    Avoid this race by holding the drm_device->master_mutex lock while
    committing. When DRM userspace does its first open, it will now wait
    until fb-helper is done. The helper will stay away if there's a master.
    
    Two igt tests fail with the new 'bail out if master' rule. Work around
    this by relaxing this rule for drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked()
    until the tests have been fixed. Add todo entry for this.
    
    Locking rule: Always take the fb-helper lock first.
    
    v5: drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked(): Use
        restore_fbdev_mode_force()
    
    v2:
    - Remove drm_fb_helper_is_bound() (Daniel Vetter)
    - No need to check fb_helper->dev->master in
      drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(), restore_fbdev_mode() has the check.
