Also a bit baffled that CI didn't hit this. I think it should be totally possible to hit this now. To avoid that I guess we'd just need to make intel_atomic_serialize_global_state() fail if it has to add any new crtcs when allow_modeset==false. Hopefully there aren't many other places that add crtcs to the state without forcing a modeset on them. > + > return 0; > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_atomic_check_only); > -- > 2.28.0 -- Ville Syrjälä Intel _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
