The above is the actual and expected HW state state yes.

No, the problem currently is not that start_slot of the subsequent
payloads are not shifted towards the beginning. Rather the atomic state
doesn't get updated properly, becoming out of sync with the HW. For
instance in a commit resizing payload #1, in the commit phase
(intel_atomic_commit_tail()) will begin by removing payload #1. The
initial state is

            old payload state         new payload state
Payload #1: 15 slots, start_slot=0    20 slots, start_slot=0
Payload #2: 15 slots, start_slot=15   15 slots, start_slot=15
Payload #3: 15 slots, start_slot=30   15 slots, start_slot=30

mgr->next_start_slot = 45

intel_mst_disable_dp() will pass the old MST and payload state to
drm_dp_remove_payload(): The MST state was added during atomic check,
since payload #1 changed, then intel_atomic_commit() ->
drm_atomic_helper_swap_state() sets the MST current state (returned by
drm_atomic_get_mst_topology_state()) to point to the old state. So at
the point drm_dp_remove_payload() returns we have:

            old payload state         new payload state
Payload #1: 15 slots, start_slot=-1   20 slots, start_slot=0
Payload #2: 15 slots, start_slot=0    15 slots, start_slot=15
Payload #3: 15 slots, start_slot=15   15 slots, start_slot=30

mgr->next_start_slot = 30

then after re-enabling payload #1, after drm_dp_add_payload_part1()
returns (passing to it the new MST and payload state) we have:

            old payload state         new payload state
Payload #1: 15 slots, start_slot=-1   20 slots, start_slot=30
Payload #2: 15 slots, start_slot=0    15 slots, start_slot=15
Payload #3: 15 slots, start_slot=15   15 slots, start_slot=30

mgr->next_start_slot = 50

So in the new SW state payload #1 and #3 incorrectly overlap, with the
actual HW state being:

Payload #1: 20 slots, start_slot=30
Payload #2: 15 slots, start_slot=0
Payload #3: 15 slots, start_slot=15

A subsequent commit will see the wrong start_slot in the SW state for
payload #2 (15) and #3 (30).

The hub shifts back payloads after the DPCD write command to 0x1c0 -
0x1c2 to remove a payload. (The HW OTOH does the corresponding shift at
the point of disabling the stream, in intel_mst_post_disable_dp() ->
intel_disable_transcoder() for i915).

Right, the hubs I checked conform to this.
