    drm: make DRM_UNLOCKED ioctls with their own mutex · 09b4ea47
    Ilija Hadzic 提交于
    drm_getclient, drm_getstats and drm_getmap (with a few minor
    adjustments) do not need global mutex, so fix that and
    make the said ioctls DRM_UNLOCKED. Details:
    
      drm_getclient: the only thing that should be protected here
      is dev->filelist and that is already protected everywhere with
      dev->struct_mutex.
    
      drm_getstats: there is no need for any mutex here because the
      loop runs through quasi-static (set at load time only)
      data, and the actual count access is done with atomic_read()
    
      drm_getmap already uses dev->struct_mutex to protect
      dev->maplist, which also used to protect the same structure
      everywhere else except at three places:
      * drm_getsarea, which doesn't grab *any* mutex before
        touching dev->maplist (so no drm_global_mutex doesn't help
        here either; different issue for a different patch).
        However, drivers seem to call it only at
        initialization time so it probably doesn't matter
      * drm_master_destroy, which is called from drm_master_put,
        which in turn is protected with dev->struct_mutex
        everywhere else in drm module, so we are good here too.
      * drm_getsareactx, which releases the dev->struct_mutex
        too early, but this patch includes the fix for that.
    
    v2: * incorporate comments received from Daniel Vetter
        * include the (long) explanation above to make it clear what
          we are doing (and why), also at Daniel Vetter's request
        * tighten up mutex grab/release locations to only
          encompass real critical sections, rather than some
          random code around them
