    drm/vkms: flush crc workers earlier in commit flow · 5ef8100a
    Daniel Vetter authored
    Currently, we flush pending CRC workers very late in the commit flow,
    when we destroy all the old crtc states. Unfortunately, at that point,
    the framebuffers are already unpinned (and our vaddr possible gone), so
    this isn't good. Also, the plane_states we need might also already be
    cleaned up, since cleanup order of state structures isn't well defined.
    
    Fix this by waiting for all CRC workers of the old state to complete
    before we start any of the cleanup work. For correct ordering and
    avoiding races, we can only flush_work after
    drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() since we know that all subsequent
    queue_work will be for the new state. Only once that's done is
    flush_work() useful, before that we might flush the work, and then right
    after the hrtimer that simulates vblank queues it again. Every time you
    have a flush_work before cleaning up the work structure, the following
    sequence must be obeyed, or it can go wrong:
    
    1. Make sure no one else can re-queue the work anymore (in our case
    that's done by a combination of first updating output->crc_state and
    then waiting for the vblank to pass to make sure the hrtimer has noticed
    that change).
    2. flush_work()
    3. Actually clean up stuff (which isn't done here).
    
    Doing the flush_work before we even completed the output->state update,
    much less waited for the vblank to make sure that's happened, missed the
    point.
    
    Note that this is not yet race-free because of the hrtimer and crc
    worker look at the wrong state pointers, but that will be fixed in
    subsequent patches.
