Hi all, I wanted to take another look at struct_mutex usage in modern (gem) drivers and noticed that for a fair lot we're very to be completely struct_mutex free. This pile here is the the simple part, which mostly just removes code and mutex_lock/unlock calls. All the patches here are independent and can be merged in any order whatsoever. My plan is to send out a pull request for all those not picked up by driver maintainers in 2-3 weeks or so, assuming no one complains. Of course review & comments still very much welcome. The more tricky 2nd part of this (and that one's not yet done) is to rework the gem mmap handler to use the same kref_get_unless_zero trick as ttm. With that there's no core requirement to hold struct_mutex over the final unref, which means we can make that one lockless. I plan to add a gem_object_free_unlocked for all the drivers which don't have any need for this lock. Also there's a few more drivers which can be made struct_mutex free easily, I'll propably stitch together poc patches for those.
