[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/8] FBC locking v3

[Paulo Zanoni]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

Hi

So this is a new take on the FBC locking improvements. This time I continue with
the "introduce fbc.lock first, then reduce struct_mutex later" strategy in order
to minimize the risks and facilitate review.

I also fixed a "lack of struct_mutex lock" regression I introduced when I first
moved FBC to the frontbuffer tracking infrastructure.

Right now the only places where we should be holding the struct_mutex lock for
FBC is on the 2 intel_fbc_update() calls: one at intel_post_plane_update() and
another at intel_unpin_work_fn(). Notice that we'll probably remove the
intel_fbc_update() call that's inside intel_unpin_work_fn() later, so we'll only
required struct_mutex locking once. We can't get rid of the single struct_mutex
lock requirement since we need to deal with the CFB allocation. Of course we can
always rework that code a little bit more, but let's do it on later patches.

Thanks,
Paulo
