The stuff never really worked, and leads to lots of fun because it out-of-order frees atomic states. Which upsets KASAN, among other things.
For async updates we now have a more solid solution with the ->atomic_async_check and ->atomic_async_commit hooks. Support for that for msm and vc4 landed. nouveau and i915 have their own commit routines, doing something similar.
For everyone else it's probably better to remove the use-after-free bug, and encourage folks to use the async support instead. The affected drivers which register a legacy cursor plane and don't either use the new async stuff or their own commit routine are: amdgpu, atmel, mediatek, qxl, rockchip, sti, sun4i, tegra, virtio, and vmwgfx.
Inspired by an amdgpu bug report.
v2: Drop RFC, I think with amdgpu converted over to use atomic_async_check/commit done in

drm/amd/display: Add fast path for cursor plane updateswe don't have any driver anymore where we have userspace expecting solid legacy cursor support _and_ they are using the atomic helpers in their fully glory. So we can retire this.

This *completely* destroys fps when there is cursor movement, it would be a pretty bad regression, so nak
Which I *guess* is due to dpu not wiring up the plane->async_* funcs, effectively making cursor updates synchronous.. but it will take some time to sort out :-(
Does something like the below (not even compile tested) get dpu back in order?

The other hunk is in a function that dpu code doesn't even use, so can't see how that would change anything.
That causes massive explosions... angering WARN_ON(dpu_crtc->event);
Seems it is probably the right idea but the wrong place? I'll try to make some time in next few days to look at this more, but juggling a bunch of different things atm (and I guess at any rate this won't be a 5.10 thing, so we have a bit of time)
