Hi Dave,

Will hunting down a patch in my machine farm I've stumbled over this one here. It fixes a detection race I've noticed while testing the new hpd stuff a while back. Chris already smashed his r-b onto it.

Can you please include this in drm-next for 3.8?

Thanks, Daniel

There's a race window (small for hpd, 10s large for polled outputs) where userspace could sneak in with an unrelated connnector probe ioctl call and eat the hotplug event (since neither the hpd nor the poll code see a state change).

To avoid this, check whether the connector state changes in all other ->detect calls (in the current helper code that's only probe_single) and if that's the case, fire off a hotplug event. Note that we can't directly call the hotplug event handler, since that expects that no locks are held (due to reentrancy with the fb code to update the kms console).

Also, this requires that drivers using the probe_single helper function set up the poll work. All current drivers do that already, and with the reworked hpd handling there'll be no downside to unconditionally setting up the poll work any more.
