[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: Kernel Crash in drm_unlock

Hi Daniel,

I am having a look at this now, as have some time.

So, to sum up what I think you want.
1. Re-base and apply the patches (so that the known holes are closed in
the Nouveau driver).
2. Add DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT to include/drm/drmP.h
3. Add DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT to .driver_features in file
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.h.
4. Change all the hw_lock IOCTL functions to have:
   +       if (!drm_core_check_feature(dev, DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT))
   +               return -EINVAL;
   +
5. Add an igt test, that would induce the crash on platforms that are
not patched and have DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT enabled?

Is this about right?

Thanks,
Peter.
