[PATCH] gpu/drm/udl: Replace struct_mutex with driver private lock

From: Shreeya Patel
Date: Fri Feb 09 2018 - 07:11:08 EST


dev->struct_mutex is the Big DRM Lock and the only bit where
itâs mandatory is serializing GEM buffer object destruction.
Which unfortunately means drivers have to keep track of that
lock and either call unreference or unreference_locked
depending upon context. Core GEM doesnât have a need for
struct_mutex any more since kernel 4.8.

For drivers that need struct_mutex it should be replaced by a driver
private lock.
