So what you're saying is that the set of CRTCs in state
might not contain all CRTCs and that this check might be incomplete for
that reason?
I'm fairly new to these waters, so don't hesitate to tell me if I seem
to be misunderstanding something or am on a wild goose chase of some sort.
So you're suggesting something like this instead of
the per CRTC check:
- /* Make sure that any outstanding modesets have finished. */
- ret = down_interruptible(&vc4->async_modeset);
- if (ret) {
- kfree(c);
- return ret;
- }
+ /* Make sure that any outstanding modesets have finished. */
+ ret = down_trylock(&vc4->async_modeset);
+ if (ret) {
+ kfree(c);
+ return -EBUSY;
+ }
I've quickly tested the above patch and it does seem to work and fulfill
all of my requirements.
