This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm: prevent double-(un)registration for connectors to the 4.9-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-prevent-double-un-registration-for-connectors.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Jun 15 13:06:48 CEST 2017 From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2016 14:35:45 +0100 Subject: drm: prevent double-(un)registration for connectors From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e73ab00e9a0f1731f34d0620a9c55f5c30c4ad4e ] If we're unlucky then the registration from a hotplugged connector might race with the final registration step on driver load. And since MST topology discover is asynchronous that's even somewhat likely. v2: Also update the kerneldoc for @registered! v3: Review from Chris: - Improve kerneldoc for late_register/early_unregister callbacks. - Use mutex_destroy.
