The race is between drm_vblank_get/put and vblank_handler contexts.
When made synchronous:
while calling drm_vblank_get, the callstack looks like below:
drm_vblank_get -> drm_vblank_enable (acquires vblank_time_lock) ->
__enable_vblank -> dpu_crtc_vblank -> dpu_encoder_toggle_vblank_for_crtc
(tries to acquire enc_spinlock)
In vblank handler, the call stack will be:
dpu_encoder_phys_vid_vblank_irq -> dpu_encoder_vblank_callback (acquires
enc_spinlock) -> dpu_crtc_vblank_callback -> drm_handle_vblank (tries to
acquire vblank_time_lock)

Even with your patch above, I see frame is getting stuck but it recovers
in a while.
The patch I tried was assigning
crtc->funcs->enable_vblank/disable_vblank so that
__enable_vblank can call crtc directly. But the above callstack is still
valid for your patch.
