I must have been trying to simplify the error handling by adding a goto at the end of drm_release, which then happened to break the common path. The easiest way to fix this would be to go back to the way drm_release() worked previously and /only/ replace {,un}lock_kernel() with mutex_{,un}lock(&drm_global_mutex);. > I have a patch from Chris Wilson that I need to push to fix this, > basically reducing the spin lock coverage, > and relying on the global mutex to handle the open race. Yes, that sounds good, it's what the code used to do before my broken change. You might also be able to find a way to remove drm_global_lock from the open/close path entirely.
