When the pipe A force quirk is applied the code will attempt to grab a crtc mutex during intel_modeset_setup_hw_state(). If we're already holding all crtc mutexes this will obviously deadlock every time. So instead of using drm_modeset_lock_all() just grab the mode_config.mutex. This is enough to avoid the unlocked mutex warnings from certain lower level functions. The regression was introduced in: commit 027476642811f8559cbe00ef6cc54db230e48a20 Author: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 2 11:08:06 2013 +0200 drm/i915: Take modeset locks around intel_modeset_setup_hw_state() Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [danvet: Add cc: stable since the offending commit has that, too.] Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c @@ -9456,9 +9456,9 @@ void intel_modeset_gem_init(struct drm_d intel_setup_overlay(dev); - drm_modeset_lock_all(dev); + mutex_lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); intel_modeset_setup_hw_state(dev, false); - drm_modeset_unlock_all(dev); + mutex_unlock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); } void intel_modeset_cleanup(struct drm_device *dev) Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.10/drm-i915-don-t-grab-crtc-mutexes-in-intel_modeset_gem_init.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
