My g33 here seems to be shockingly good at hitting them all. This time
around kms_flip/flip-vs-panning-vs-hang blows up:
intel_crtc_wait_for_pending_flips correctly checks for gpu hangs and
if a gpu hang is pending aborts the wait for outstanding flips so that
the setcrtc call will succeed and release the crtc mutex. And the gpu
hang handler needs that lock in intel_display_handle_reset to be able
to complete outstanding flips.
The problem is that we can race in two ways:
- Waiters on the dev_priv->pending_flip_queue aren't woken up after
we've the reset as pending, but before we actually start the reset
work. This means that the waiter doesn't notice the pending reset
and hence will keep on hogging the locks.
Like with dev->struct_mutex and the ring->irq_queue wait queues we
there need to wake up everyone that potentially holds a lock which
the reset handler needs.
- intel_display_handle_reset was called _after_ we've already
signalled the completion of the reset work. Which means a waiter
could sneak in, grab the lock and never release it (since the
pageflips won't ever get released).
Similar to resetting the gem state all the reset work must complete
before we update the reset counter. Contrary to the gem reset we
don't need to have a second explicit wake up call since that will
have happened already when completing the pageflips. We also don't
have any issues that the completion happens while the reset state is
still pending - wait_for_pending_flips is only there to ensure we
display the right frame. After a gpu hang&reset events such
guarantees are out the window anyway. This is in contrast to the gem
code where too-early wake-up would result in unnecessary restarting
of ioctls.
Also, since we've gotten these various deadlocks and ordering
constraints wrong so often throw copious amounts of comments at the
code.
This deadlock regression has been introduced in the commit which added
the pageflip reset logic to the gpu hang work:

drm/i915: Finish page flips and update primary planes after a GPU reset
v2:
- Add comments to explain how the wake_up serves as memory barriers
for the atomic_t reset counter.
- Improve the comments a bit as suggested by Chris Wilson.
- Extract the wake_up calls before/after the reset into a little
i915_error_wake_up and unconditionally wake up the
pending_flip_queue waiters, again as suggested by Chris Wilson.
v3: Throw copious amounts of comments at i915_error_wake_up as
suggested by Chris Wilson.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
