Yeah you're not allowed to touch an object's hw state in ->atomic_commit without acquiring it's state in atomic_check. Otherwise the synchronization across commits that atomic helpers provides goes boom. > But dpu_crtc_atomic_flush() iterates over all the attached planes, > calling dpu_plane_restore() which leads into > dpu_plane_atomic_update().. this is kinda dpu breaking the rules.. You're probably missing a drm_atomic_add_affected_planes() somewhere. Without looking at the code at least, it might be that if you just blindly do that you take too many states by default and oversynchronize across multiple crtc, which isn't great. But better than getting the rules wrong :-) Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
