When writing the generic nonblocking commit code I assumed that through clever lifetime management I can assure that the completion (stored in drm_crtc_commit) only gets freed after it is completed. And that worked. I also wanted to make nonblocking helpers resilient against driver bugs, by having timeouts everywhere. And that worked too. Unfortunately taking boths things together results in oopses :( Well, at least sometimes: What seems to happen is that the drm event hangs around forever stuck in limbo land. The nonblocking helpers eventually time out, move on and release it. Now the bug I tested all this against is drivers that just entirely fail to deliver the vblank events like they should, and in those cases the event is simply leaked. But what seems to happen, at least sometimes, on i915 is that the event is set up correctly, but somohow the vblank fails to fire in time. Which means the event isn't leaked, it's still there waiting for eventually a vblank to fire. That tends to happen when re-enabling the pipe, and then the trap springs and the kernel oopses. The correct fix here is simply to refcount the crtc commit to make sure that the event sticks around even for drivers which only sometimes fail to deliver vblanks for some arbitrary reasons. Since crtc commits are already refcounted that's easy to do.

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.
