When writing some testcases for nonblocking modesets. I found out that the infinite wait on the old fb was causing issues. A nonblocking modeset with a hang on the old fb, followed by a blocking update was enough to trigger it. For old platforms patch 2 is needed else kms_busy.extended-modeset-hang-oldfb-* will put the gpu in a bad state when the 90s in swap_state is reached, for newer platforms patch 3 will fix this. The display doesn't need to be reset when there are no CS flips and no display reset. If you have a newer platform, (gen4+) then the display reset can be simulated with the kms_busy.extended-modeset-hang-oldfb-with-reset-* test.
