drm/i915: Make cursor plane registers unlocked
Drop the locks around cursor plane register writes. The lock isn't needed since each plane's register are neatly contained on their own cachelines. The locking did have a secondary effect of disabling interrupts around the cursor registers writes though. If we drop that then we open outselves up for sceduling delays and whatnot while on the middle of the register writes. That increases the chance of not all the register writes land during the same frame. For normal atomic commits this is not a concern as the vblank evade mechanism anyway disables interrupts around the update, but the legacy cursor codepath does not. Technically we should do a vblank evade there as well, but so far no one has bothered to hook that up. So in the meantime let's put an explicit local irq disable/enable around the legacy cursor update to keep the race window minimal. v2: local_irq_{disable,enable}() for legacy cursor ioctl Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220211092604.393-1-ville.syrjala@linux.intel.comReviewed-by: Stanislav Lisovskiy <stanislav.lisovskiy@intel.com>
