Turns out this part is my fault for not noticing when reviewing 9a2eba337cace ("drm/nouveau: Fix drm poll_helper handling"). Currently we call drm_kms_helper_poll_enable() from nouveau_display_hpd_work(). This makes basically no sense however, because that means we're calling drm_kms_helper_poll_enable() every time we schedule the hotplug detection work. This is also against the advice mentioned in drm_kms_helper_poll_enable()'s documentation: Note that calls to enable and disable polling must be strictly ordered, which is automatically the case when they're only call from suspend/resume callbacks. Of course, hotplugs can't really be ordered. They could even happen immediately after we called drm_kms_helper_poll_disable() in nouveau_display_fini(), which can lead to all sorts of issues. Additionally; enabling polling /after/ we call drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() could also mean that we'd miss a hotplug event anyway, since drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() wouldn't bother trying to probe connectors so long as polling is disabled. So; simply move this back into nouveau_display_init() again. The race condition that both of these patches attempted to work around has already been fixed properly in d61a5c106351 ("drm/nouveau: Fix deadlock on runtime suspend") Fixes: 9a2eba337cace ("drm/nouveau: Fix drm poll_helper handling") Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c index ec7861457b84..1d36ab5d4796 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_display.c @@ -355,8 +355,6 @@ nouveau_display_hpd_work(struct work_struct *work) pm_runtime_get_sync(drm->dev->dev); drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(drm->dev); - /* enable polling for external displays */ - drm_kms_helper_poll_enable(drm->dev); pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(drm->dev->dev); pm_runtime_put_sync(drm->dev->dev); @@ -411,6 +409,11 @@ nouveau_display_init(struct drm_device *dev) if (ret) return ret; + /* enable connector detection and polling for connectors without HPD + * support + */ + drm_kms_helper_poll_enable(dev); + /* enable hotplug interrupts */ drm_connector_list_iter_begin(dev, &conn_iter); nouveau_for_each_non_mst_connector_iter(connector, &conn_iter) { -- 2.17.1
