I'm not sure if that is true. Yeah the recent locking frobbing didn't account for the FIXME comment in vmwgfx. Might be good to address that long-term to get vmwgfx more in line with everyone else again - I simply don't understand the interactions well enough to make that call. There's two of those in total. Can we just remove them perhaps? The question is whether you can do the cursor operation just with the per-crtc lock as protection, or whether there's any shared resources and you need the full exclusion provided by modeset_lock_all. If the crtc locking is good enough then we could rip this out in both function and be done. Note that this FIXME has been in vmwgfx since almost two years now. If that's not possible then I have a major kludge of a hack in my atomic helpers branch which will keep this alive for a bit longer. It ain't pretty though.
