Yes, that looks like almost the same patch that I sent out yesterday.
The difference is that I didn't replace the drm_vblank_pre_modeset()
call with drm_vblank_off() like you did, but rather just dropped the
former.
I /think/ your version is more correct in that regard.

It shouldn't happen. If drm_vblank_off() and drm_vblank_on() are called
around a modeset they should never conflict with drm_vblank_get(), at
least on Tegra, because the modeset and page-flip IOCTLs will be
serialized.
