Actually the locking isn't perhaps quite like that atm. But I guess > the mode_config.mutex will make it so. If we need this we could create a substruct in dev_priv with copies of everything, which would only be protected by av_mutex. That's the usual approach we use when faced with this kind of locking inversion: Copy/update relevant data in the modeset ->enable/disable hooks, then just use these local locks to access those copies. Usually that's enough to untangle things, with no need to resort to workers. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
