Re: [PATCH 2/2] drm/nouveau: Handle fbcon suspend/resume in seperate worker

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

Good catch (both the previous patch as well as this one).
I've one small comment inline:

The compiler may decide to optimize away this variable
and simply use drm->fbcon_new_state in the if-s below,
which is racy. I would fix this by making
drm->fbcon_new_state an atomic_t and using

atomic_read(&drm->fbcon_new_state) here.
(and atomic_set below).

Regards,

Hans
