Nope.
The idea of drm_dev_enter/exit is to mark up hw access. Not entire ioctl.
Especially not with an opt-in flag so that it could be shrugged of as a
driver hack. Most of these ioctls should have absolutely no problem
working after hotunplug.
Also, doing this defeats the point since it pretty much guarantees
userspace will die in assert()s and stuff. E.g. on i915 the rough contract
is that only execbuf (and even that only when userspace has indicated
support for non-recoverable hw ctx) is allowed to fail. Anything else
might crash userspace.
You probably need similar (and very precisely defined) rules for amdgpu.
And those must definitely exclude any shard ioctls from randomly failing
with EIO, because that just kills the box and defeats the point of trying
to gracefully handling hotunplug and making sure userspace has a chance of
survival. E.g. for atomic everything should continue, including flip
completion, but we set all outputs to "disconnected" and send out the
uevent. Maybe crtc enabling can fail too, but that can also be handled
through the async status we're using to signal DP link failures to
userspace.
I guess we should clarify this in the hotunplug doc?
