[PATCH v2] drm/amdgpu: Disable RPM helpers while reprobing connectors on resume

From: Lyude
Date: Mon Jul 18 2016 - 11:42:09 EST


Just about all of amdgpu's connector probing functions try to acquire
runtime PM refs. If we try to do this in the context of
amdgpu_resume_kms by calling drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(), we end up
deadlocking the system.

Since we're guaranteed to be holding the spinlock for RPM in
amdgpu_resume_kms, and we already know the GPU is in working order, we
need to prevent the RPM helpers from trying to run during the initial
connector reprobe on resume.

There's a couple of solutions I've explored for fixing this, but this
one by far seems to be the simplest and most reliable (plus I'm pretty
sure that's what disable_depth is there for anyway).

Reproduction recipe:
- Get any laptop dual GPUs using PRIME
- Make sure runtime PM is enabled for amdgpu
- Boot the machine
- If the machine managed to boot without hanging, switch out of X to
another VT. This should definitely cause X to hang infinitely.

Changes since v1:
- add appropriate #ifdef checks for CONFIG_PM. This is not very
useful, but it appears some kernel test suites test compiling amdgpu
with CONFIG_PM disabled, which results in this patch breaking the builds
if we don't include this #ifdef
