So with runtime pm on nouveau, if the card gets powered down, and then you access a connector via sysfs, drm_sysfs.c:status_show locks the connector and calls into the driver, the driver then does a runtime_get_sync, which causes resume to happen which causes modesetting to reset the mode, which tries to take all the locks, and it all deadlocks in a pile, Ideas to fix this, move the runtime_get_sync into the drm_sysfs code, or allow the drivers to provide their own status show functions, moving the runtime get into the sysfs code probably involves having conditionals for device that support runtime PM at all, otherwise who knows what might happen, Dave. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
