This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/nouveau: Add a dedicated mutex for the clients list to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: drm-nouveau-add-a-dedicated-mutex-for-the-clients-list.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From abae9164a421bc4a41a3769f01ebcd1f9d955e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Cline <jcline@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:26:47 -0500 Subject: drm/nouveau: Add a dedicated mutex for the clients list From: Jeremy Cline <jcline@xxxxxxxxxx> commit abae9164a421bc4a41a3769f01ebcd1f9d955e0e upstream. Rather than protecting the nouveau_drm clients list with the lock within the "client" nouveau_cli, add a dedicated lock to serialize access to the list. This is both clearer and necessary to avoid lockdep being upset with us when we need to iterate through all the clients in the list and potentially lock their mutex, which is the same class as the lock protecting the entire list.
