We need to hold the dev->mode_config.mutex whilst detecting the output status. But we also need to drop it for the call into drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(), which indirectly acquires the lock when attaching the fbcon. Failure to do so exposes a race with normal output probing. Detected by adding some warnings that the mutex is held to the backend detect routines: [ 17.772456] WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_crt.c:471 intel_crt_detect+0x3e/0x373 [i915]() [ 17.772458] Hardware name: Latitude E6400 [ 17.772460] Modules linked in: ....
