From e0f32f78e51b9989ee89f608fd0dd10e9c230652 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2019 14:09:35 +0200 Subject: drm/kms: Duct-tape for mode object lifetime checks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 4f5368b5541a902f6596558b05f5c21a9770dd32 Author: Daniel Vetter Date: Fri Jun 14 08:17:23 2019 +0200 drm/kms: Catch mode_object lifetime errors uncovered a bit a mess in dp drivers. Most drivers (from a quick look, all except i915) register all the dp stuff in their init code, which is too early. With CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV this will blow up, because drm_dp_aux_register tries to add a child to a device in sysfs (the connector) which doesn't even exist yet. No one seems to have cared thus far. But with the above change I also moved the setting of dev->registered after the ->load callback, in an attempt to keep old drivers from hitting any WARN_ON backtraces. But that moved radeon.ko from the "working, by accident" to "now also broken" category. Since this is a huge mess I figured a revert would be simplest. But this check has already caught issues in i915: commit 1b9bd09630d4db4827cc04d358a41a16a6bc2cb0 Author: Ville Syrjälä Date: Tue Aug 20 19:16:57 2019 +0300 drm/i915: Do not create a new max_bpc prop for MST connectors Hence I'd like to retain it. Fix the radeon regression by moving the setting of dev->registered back to were it was, and stop the backtraces with an explicit check for dev->driver->load. Everyone else will stay as broken with CONFIG_DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV. The next patch will improve the kerneldoc and add a todo entry for this.
