Resuming from RPM can happen while already holding dev->mode_config.mutex. This means we can't actually handle fbcon in any RPM resume workers, since restoring fbcon requires grabbing dev->mode_config.mutex again. So move the fbcon suspend/resume code into it's own worker, and rely on that instead to avoid deadlocking. This fixes more deadlocks for runtime suspending the GPU on the ThinkPad W541. Reproduction recipe: - Get a machine with both optimus and a nvidia card with connectors attached to it - Wait for the nvidia GPU to suspend - Attempt to manually reprobe any of the connectors on the nvidia GPU using sysfs - *deadlock* [airlied: use READ_ONCE to address Hans's comment] Signed-off-by: Lyude <lyude@redhat.com> Cc: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Cc: Kilian Singer <kilian.singer@quantumtechnology.info> Cc: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
