From: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

Introduce a new top-level lock for the FB helper code. This will allow
better locking granularity and avoid the need to abuse modeset locking
for this purpose instead.

Some suggestions below, since I think this state of locking implemented
here is a bit a too awkwared intermediate thing.

mode_config.mutex isn't needed anymore here (with the recommendations at
the bottom), please remove.

Bit more detail would be good here.

@connector_info or @crtc_info."

So I think you're missing to protect almost all the fbdev paths.
Essentially anything looking at crtc_info or connector_info must hold the
new lock, which means all the places that currently call
drm_modeset_lock_all() need to grab this new lock too.

Best way to make sure you catch them all is to also update the lockdep
assert in drm_fb_helper_for_each_connector().

There's still a massive mess going with locking here, especially around
the probe code and drm_fb_helper_is_bound, but that's a different thing
and better left for cleanup later on.

To clarify: After having reviewed the next patch I think this here is
fine. So gets an Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
as-is. I just think we want a notch more here.

But if you're burried too much we can do that as a follow-up too, but in
that case please add a FIXME to e.g. the @lock kernel-doc:

"FIXME: fbdev emulation locking is a mess, long term we want to protect
all helper internal state with this lock, and reduce core KMS locking as
much as possible."

Your choice :-)

Cheers, Daniel
