    drm: don't hold crtc mutexes for connector ->detect callbacks · 7b24056b

    The coup de grace of the entire journey. No more dropped frames every
    10s on my testbox!
    
    I've tried to audit all ->detect and ->get_modes callbacks, but things
    became a bit fuzzy after trying to piece together the umpteenth
    implemenation. Afaict most drivers just have bog-standard output
    register frobbing with a notch of i2c edid reading, nothing which
    could potentially race with the newly concurrent pageflip/set_cursor
    code. The big exception is load-detection code which requires a
    running pipe, but radeon/nouveau seem to to this without touching any
    state which can be observed from page_flip (e.g. disabled crtcs
    temporarily getting enabled and so a pageflip succeeding).
    
    The only special case I could find is the i915 load detect code. That
    uses the normal modeset interface to enable the load-detect crtc, and
    so userspace could try to squeeze in a pageflip on the load-detect
    pipe. So we need to grab the relevant crtc mutex in there, to avoid
    the temporary crtc enabling to sneak out and be visible to userspace.
    
    Note that the sysfs files already stopped grabbing the per-crtc locks,
    since I didn't want to bother with doing a interruptible
    modeset_lock_all. But since there's very little in-between breakage
    (essentially just the ability for userspace to pageflip on load-detect
    crtcs when it shouldn't on the i915 driver) I figured I don't need to
    bother.
