Not being a scheduled work expert, I was unsure if this experiment was
equivalent to what I proposed.
I'm always suspicious of singleton solutions like this (using
schedule_work() in runtime_resume()) because usually they seem to be
solving a generic problem that should happen on many kinds of
hardware. The 0b2fe6594fa2 ("drm/nouveau: Queue hpd_work on (runtime)
resume") commit log says:
We need to call drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() on resume to properly
detect monitor connection / disconnection on some laptops, use
hpd_work for this to avoid deadlocks.
The situation of a monitor being connected or disconnected during
suspend can happen to *any* GPU, but the commit only changes nouveau,
which of course raises the question of how we deal with that in other
drivers. If the Nvidia GPU has some unique behavior related to
monitor connection, that would explain special-case code there, but
the commit doesn't mention anything like that.
It should be simple to revert 0b2fe6594fa2 and see whether it changes
the behavior at all (well, simple except for the fact that this
problem isn't 100% reproducible in the first place).
