[PATCH v2 04/14] drm/msm: order the display snapshot sources around its worker

From: Dmitry Baryshkov

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 11:37:16 EST


The display snapshot work is queued on kms->dump_worker by the IOMMU
fault handler of the KMS and by the DPU interrupt handlers, but neither
of them follows the lifetime of the worker:

- the fault handler is registered by msm_kms_init_vm() in the middle of
kms_init() and is never unregistered, so a fault during kms_init(),
or in the error path of msm_drm_kms_init(), dumps a KMS which is
still being set up or already being torn down, and a fault after
msm_drm_kms_uninit() queues the work on a destroyed worker;

- msm_drm_kms_uninit() destroys the worker before it uninstalls the
interrupt handlers, so an underrun or a timeout in between queues the
work on a destroyed worker as well.

Start the sources only once the KMS is fully set up and stop them before
the worker goes away: register the fault handler as the last step of
msm_drm_kms_init(), unregister it first thing in msm_drm_kms_uninit(),
and destroy the worker after the interrupts have been uninstalled but
before the KMS itself, so that the dumps still pending run against an
intact KMS.

A fault during kms_init() therefore no longer produces a dump; the KMS
is not complete enough to describe one at that point. The handler is
cleared with the kms argument left in place, so that a fault handler
already running still gets a valid one.

Fixes: eabba31a839a ("drm/msm: register a fault handler for display mmu faults")
