Mhm, so here's why they are asking for each lock:

connection_mutex: Protects any connector->state, and connector->status.

(As an extra note: ignore connector->mutex for modesetting purposes, only
 dev->mode_config.connection_mutex is important.)

crtc->mutex: Anything in crtc->state for the given crtc

In order to avoid to avoid a NULL dereference due to connector->crtc->state
changing, you'd start grabbing locks with something like this:


  /* pretend we have 'connector' already set to the drm_connector */
  /* also pretend we have 'dev' set to the struct drm_device* */
  struct drm_crtc *crtc;
  struct drm_modeset_acquire_ctx ctx;
  bool try_again = false;
  int ret = 0;

  drm_modeset_acquire_init(&ctx, 0);

  do {
    /* We don't check the return code here because since this is
     * our first lock, so there isn't any chance of us deadlocking
     * yet.
     */
    drm_modeset_lock(&dev->mode_config.connection_mutex, &ctx);

    /* Cool! Now that we're holding connection_mutex, we can start
     * reading from the connector struct and friends
     */
    crtc = connector->state->crtc;
    if (connector->status != connector_status_connected || !crtc) {
      ret = -ENODEV;
      break;
    }

    /* Now we need to check the return code from
     * drm_modeset_lock(), because.......
     */
    ret = drm_modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex, &ctx);
    if (ret == -EDEADLK) {
      /* We could deadlock! If we're here, then this is
       * probably what happened:
       *
       * <CPU1> (us)                 <CPU2>
       * modeset_lock(&conn_mutex);  modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex);
       * modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex); modeset_lock(&conn_mutex);
       *
       * CPU1 is waiting for crtc->mutex which is held by CPU2, but
       * CPU2 is waiting for conn_mutex, which is held by CPU1
       *
       * Normally the kernel doesn't run into this issue
       * because a lot of care has been put into ordering
       * mutex_lock() calls correctly. But, with modesetting
       * we don't have the benefit of knowing what order these
       * locks will be acquired in. Since drm_modeset_lock()
       * has informed us of this scenario however, we can
       * avoid hanging the entire kernel by simply dropping
       * our locks, in this case that would just include
       * connection_mutex. We call this "backing off"
       */
      drm_modeset_backoff(&ctx);

      /* Now, things will look like this:
       *
       * <CPU1> (us)                    <CPU2>
       * modeset_lock(&conn_mutex);     modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex);
       * modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex);    modeset_lock(&conn_mutex);
       * (oh no, a deadlock!)           ...
       * modeset_backoff();             (Oh hey, I locked &conn_mutex)
       * modeset_lock(&conn_mutex);     (now I'm doing stuff, wee!)
       * ...                            modeset_drop_locks();
       * (Oh hey, I locked &conn_mutex) ...
       * (do stuff)                     ...
       * (etc. etc.)
       */
      go_again = true;
      continue;
    }

    /* Now if we're here, we managed to grab both locks correctly,
     * and we know neither connector->state or crtc->state will
     * change.
     */
    intel_dp = enc_to_intel_dp(intel_attached_encoder(connector));
    if (intel_dp->dsc_dpcd)
      /* etc. etc. */

    /* ... */

  } while (go_again);

  /* Now, we can finally drop any locks we're holding */
  drm_modeset_drop_locks(&ctx);
  /* And release our acquisition context */
  drm_modeset_acquire_fini(&ctx);

  return ret;


Does that help explain things?
