As it turns out, on cards that actually have CRTCs on them we're already calling drm_kms_helper_poll_enable(drm_dev) from nouveau_display_resume() before we call it in nouveau_pmops_runtime_resume(). This leads us to accidentally trying to enable polling twice, which results in a potential deadlock between the RPM locks and drm_dev->mode_config.mutex if we end up trying to enable polling the second time while output_poll_execute is running and holding the mode_config lock. As such, make sure we only enable polling in nouveau_pmops_runtime_resume() if we need to.
This fixes hangs observed on the ThinkPad W541 Signed-off-by: Lyude <ly...@redhat.com> --- It should be noted this issue only started recently, and it doesn't look like this code has been touched that recently. So there might already be something else going on here that's suddenly causing this to be a bug. drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c index 3100fd88..35ffa41 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c @@ -761,7 +761,14 @@ nouveau_pmops_runtime_resume(struct device *dev) pci_set_master(pdev); ret = nouveau_do_resume(drm_dev, true); - drm_kms_helper_poll_enable(drm_dev); + + /* If this card has CRTCs attached to it, nouveau_do_resume() will have + * already enabled polling.
