Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: Fix deadlock on runtime suspend

nouveau's ->runtime_suspend hook calls drm_kms_helper_poll_disable(), which waits for the output poll worker to finish if it's running.

The output poll worker meanwhile calls pm_runtime_get_sync() in nouveau_connector_detect() which waits for the ongoing suspend to finish, causing a deadlock.

Fix by not acquiring a runtime PM ref if nouveau_connector_detect() is called in the output poll worker's context. This is safe because the poll worker is only enabled while runtime active and we know that ->runtime_suspend waits for it to finish.

Other contexts calling nouveau_connector_detect() do require a runtime PM ref, these comprise:

status_store() drm sysfs interface
->fill_modes drm callback
drm_fb_helper_probe_connector_modes()
drm_mode_getconnector()
nouveau_connector_hotplug()
nouveau_display_hpd_work()
nv17_tv_set_property()

Hi Greg,

The patch applies just fine, but it has two prerequisites, as specified in the commit message:

Cc [email protected] # v3.12+: 27d4ee03078a: workqueue: Allow retrieval of current task's work struct

Cc [email protected] # v3.12+: 25c058ccaf2e: drm: Allow determining if current task is output poll worker

The radeon and amdgpu patches have the same prerequisites.
