From d0fa1af40e784aaf7ebb7ba8a17b229bb3fa4c21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 09:02:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm: Drop modeset locking from crtc init function At driver init no one can access modeset objects and we're single-threaded. So locking is just cargo-culting here. Worse, with the new ww mutexes and ww mutex slowpath debugging the mutex_lock might actually fail, and we don't have the full-blown ww recovery dance. Which then leads to fireworks when we try to unlock the not-locked crtc lock. An audit of all the functions called from here shows that none of them contain locking checks, so there's also no reason to keep the locking around just for consistency of caller contexts. Besides that I have the rule (at least in i915) that such places where we take locks just to simplify locking checks and not for correctness always require a comment. This regression was introduced in commit 51fd371bbaf94018a1223b4e2cf20b9880fd92d4 Author: Rob Clark Date: Tue Nov 19 12:10:12 2013 -0500 drm: convert crtc and connection_mutex to ww_mutex (v5) v2: Don't drop the lock_init call, spotted by the 0day builder.
