Hi

Am 02.10.25 um 04:57 schrieb Chintan Patel:
When wait_event_timeout() in drm_wait_one_vblank() times out, the
current WARN can cause unnecessary kernel panics in environments
with panic_on_warn set (e.g. CI, fuzzing). These timeouts can happen
under scheduler pressure or from invalid userspace calls, so they are
not always a kernel bug.

Replace the WARN with drm_dbg_kms() messages that provide useful
context (last and current vblank counters) without crashing the
system. Developers can still enable drm.debug to diagnose genuine
problems.

There should be no empty lines among those tags


v2:
  - Drop unnecessary in-code comment (suggested by Thomas Zimmermann)
  - Remove else branch, only log timeout case

Please don't call drm_vblank_count() here. It's not necessary for regular operation. Simply keep the debug message as-is.

+       if (ret == 0) {

"if (!ret)" is the preferred style.

Aligning the pipe argument with dev from the previous line is the preferred style.

Best regards
Thomas
