[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/1] drm/i915: Fix races on fbdev

Lukas Wunner lukas at wunner.de
Mon Feb 15 17:13:27 UTC 2016


The ->lastclose callback invokes intel_fbdev_restore_mode() and has
been witnessed to run before intel_fbdev_initial_config_async()
has finished.

We might likewise receive hotplug events or be suspended before
we've had a chance to fully set up the fbdev.

Fix by waiting for the asynchronous thread to finish.
