I think this is the wrong lock. What you want is the buffer lock, the
dma_resv lock of the underlying gem_bo underneath the fb we have. And hold
that from _vmap to the end of _vunmap.
Unfortuantely that's going to be one nasty refactoring adventure :-/
So I think for plan B we need something nasty like this, but this here has
disadvantage that fbdev activity in the background can seriously hurt the
native kms client (despite that you're trying to filter a bit, you're
creating a big lock across all planes and we've really worked hard to make
those stand-alone as much as possible).
I think we can do better here, since we're only worried about modesets
from fbdev itself. Nothing else needs to be able to pull the buffer from
system memory into vram while we have it pinned here.
Holding mutex_lock(fb_helper->lock) here instead, with a big comment
explaining why that's enough, and that the clean fix would be holding the
dma_resv_lock, should do the trick.
