2009-03-03drm: Avoid client deadlocks when the master disappears.Thomas Hellstrom
This is done by 1) Wake up lock waiters when we close the master file descriptor. Not when the master structure is removed, since the latter requires the waiters themselves to release the refcount on the master structure -> Deadlock. 2) Send a SIGTERM to all clients waiting for the lock. Normally these clients will get a SIGPIPE when the X server dies, but clients may also spin trying to grab the DRM lock, without getting any sort of notification.

That return code is for in-kernel use only. Use EINTR instead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
2008-12-29drm: move to kref per-master structures.Dave Airlie
This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm device in order to get fast-user-switching to work. It splits out the information associated with the drm master into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over the hardware. It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from within the new master structures. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
2008-11-11drm: Remove infrastructure for supporting i915's vblank swapping.Eric Anholt
It's not used in any other drivers, and doesn't look like it will be from drm.git master. Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
2008-10-23drm/i915: hold dev->struct_mutex and DRM lock during vblank ring operationsKeith Packard
To synchronize clip lists with the X server, the DRM lock must be held while looking at drawable clip lists. To synchronize with other ring access, the ring mutex must be held while inserting commands into the ring. Failure to do the first resulted in easy visual corruption when moving windows, and the second could have corrupted the ring with DRI2. Grabbing the DRM lock involves using the DRM tasklet mechanism, grabbing the ring mutex means potentially sleeping. Deal with both of these by always running the tasklet from a work handler. Also, protect from clip list changes since the vblank request was queued by making sure the window has at least one rectangle while looking inside, preventing oopses .

2008-08-25drm: don't set the signal blocker on the master process.Dave Airlie
There is a problem with debugging the X server and gdb crashes in the xkb startup code. This avoids the problem by allowing the master process to get signals. It should be safe as the signal blocker is mainly so that you can Ctrl-Z a 3D application without locking up the whole box. Ctrl-Z the X server isn't something many people do.

2008-08-25drm: don't call the vblank tasklet with irqs disabled.Thomas Hellstrom
If a specific tasklet shares data with irq context, it needs to take a private irq-blocking spinlock within the tasklet itself. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
2008-07-14drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.Dave Airlie
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff, the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and starting to be unmanageable. This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components. It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
