Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/atomic: drm_atomic_private_obj_fini: protect private_obj removal from list
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 14:07:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324-drm-bridge-atomic-vs-remove-private_obj-v3-1-64deefe84044@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324-drm-bridge-atomic-vs-remove-private_obj-v3-0-64deefe84044@bootlin.com>
Currently drm_bridge_detach() expects that the bridge private_obj is not
locked by a drm_modeset_acquire_ctx, and it warns in case that happens:
drm_bridge_detach()
-> drm_atomic_private_obj_fini()
-> list_del(&obj->head) // removes priv_obj from
// dev->mode_config.privobj_list
-> obj->funcs->atomic_destroy_state()
-> drm_modeset_lock_fini(&obj->lock)
-> WARN_ON(!list_empty(&lock->head)) // warn if priv_obj->lock
// is still in ctx->locked
The expectation is not respected when introducing bridge hot-plugging. In
such case the warning triggers if the bridge is being removed concurrently
to an operation that locks the private object using a
drm_modeset_acquire_ctx, such as in this execution scenario:
CPU0:
drm_mode_obj_get_properties_ioctl() // userspace request
-> DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN()
. -> drm_for_each_privobj() // loop on dev->mode_config.privobj_list
. - lock the privobj mutex
. - add priv_obj->lock to ctx->locked
. (list of locks to be released later)
.
. CPU1:
. drm_bridge_detach() // bridge hot-unplug
. -> WARN triggers!
.
-> DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_END()
-> for each lock in ctx->locked
- remove priv_obj->lock from ctx->locked
- unlock the privobj mutex
Prevent this potential deadlock by using DRM_MODESET_LOCK_ALL_BEGIN/END()
around the list removal in drm_atomic_private_obj_fini(). This ensures that
exactly one of these happens:
* the concurrent code (e.g. drm_mode_obj_get_properties_ioctl()) acquires
all the locks first, so it can execute fully and release the
privobj->lock before drm_atomic_private_obj_fini() calls list_del() and
before the WARN_ON()
* drm_atomic_private_obj_fini() acquires all the locks first, so it
removes its privobj->lock from the dev->mode_config.privobj_list; the
concurrent code will run afterwards and not acquire that lock because it
is not present anymore

Changes in v3:
- Rebased on current drm-misc-next (on 7.0-rc3)
- Small commit message clarification
Changes in v2:
- added 'drm/atomic:' prefix to commit title
- Adapted to work on top of "drm/atomic: Add dev pointer to drm_private_obj"
- Slightly improved commit message
