[Why]
DRM private objects have no hw_done/flip_done fencing mechanism on their
own and cannot be used to sequence commits accordingly.
When issuing commits that don't touch the same set of hardware resources
like page-flips on different CRTCs we can run into the issue below
because of this:
1. Client requests non-blocking Commit #1, has a new dc_state #1,
state is swapped, commit tail is deferred to work queue
2. Client requests non-blocking Commit #2, has a new dc_state #2,
state is swapped, commit tail is deferred to work queue
3. Commit #2 work starts, commit tail finishes,
atomic state is cleared, dc_state #1 is freed
4. Commit #1 work starts,
commit tail encounters null pointer deref on dc_state #1
In order to change the DC state as in the private object we need to
ensure that we wait for all outstanding commits to finish and that
any other pending commits must wait for the current one to finish as
well.
We do this for MEDIUM and FULL updates. But not for FAST updates, nor
would we want to since it would cause stuttering from the delays.
FAST updates that go through dm_determine_update_type_for_commit always
create a new dc_state and lock the DRM private object if there are
any changed planes.
We need the old state to validate, but we don't actually need the new
state here.
[How]
If the commit isn't a full update then the use after free can be
resolved by simply discarding the new state entirely and retaining
the existing one instead.
With this change the sequence above can be reexamined. Commit #2 will
still free Commit #1's reference, but before this happens we actually
added an additional reference as part of Commit #2.
If an update comes in during this that needs to change the dc_state
it will need to wait on Commit #1 and Commit #2 to finish. Then it'll
swap the state, finish the work in commit tail and drop the last
reference on Commit #2's dc_state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
