The pagelip ioctl itself is rather simply, so the hard work for this
patch is auditing all the drivers:
- exynos: Pageflip is protect with dev->struct_mutex and ...
synchronous. But nothing fancy going on, besides a check whether the
crtc is enabled, which should probably be somewhere in the drm core
so that we have unified behaviour across all drivers.
- i915: hw-state is protected with dev->struct_mutex, the delayed
unpin work together with the other stuff the pageflip complete irq
handler needs is protected by the event_lock spinlock.
- nouveau: With the pin/unpin functions fixed, everything looks safe:
A bit of ttm wrestling and refcounting, and a few channel accesses.
The later are either already proteced sufficiently, or are now safe
with the channel locking introduced to make cursor updates safe.
- radeon: The irq_get/put functions look a bit race, since the
atomic_inc/dec isn't protect with locks. Otoh they're all per-crtc,
so we should be safe with per-crtc locking from the drm core. Then
there's tons of per-crtc register access, which could potentially go
through the indirect reg acces. But that's fixed to make cursor
updates concurrent. Bookeeping for the drm even is also protected
with the even_lock, which also protects against the pageflip irq
handler since radeon hw seems to have no way to queue these up
asynchronously. Otherwise just a bit of ttm-based buffer handling
and fencing, which is now safe with the previous patch to hold
bdev->fence_lock while grabbing the ttm fence.
- shmob: Only one crtc. That's an easy one ...
- vmwgfx: As usual a bit special with tons different things:
- Flippable check using is_implicit and num_implicit. Changes to
those seem to be nicely covered with the global modeset lock, so
we should be fine.
- Some dirty cliprect handling stuff, or at least that is my guess.
Looks like it's fine since either it's per-crtc, invariant or
(like the execbuf stuff launched) protected otherwise.
- Adding the actual flip to the fence_event list. On a quick look
this seems to have solid locking in place, too.
... but generally this is all way over my head.
- imx: Impressive display of races between the page_flip
implementation and the irq handler. Also, ipu_drm_set_base which
gets eventually called from the irq handler to update the display
base isn't really protected against concurrent set_config calls from
process context. In any case, going for per-crtc locking won't make
this worse, so nothing to do.
- omap: The new async callback code merged into 3.8 seems to have
solid locking in place, and there doesn't seem to be any shared
state at risk. Especially since the callbacks still use
modeset_lock_all and are so not converted.
v2: Update omapdrm analysis to 3.8 code per the discussion with Rob
Clark.
