Commit Message

This is a complicated one. Essentially, there's currently a problem in the MST
core that hasn't really caused any issues that we're aware of (emphasis on "that
we're aware of"): locking.

When we go through and probe the link addresses and path resources in a
topology, we hold no locks when updating ports with said information. The
members I'm referring to in particular are:

- ldps
- ddps
- mcs
- pdt
- dpcd_rev
- num_sdp_streams
- num_sdp_stream_sinks
- available_pbn
- input
- connector

Now that we're handling UP requests asynchronously and will be using some of
the struct members mentioned above in atomic modesetting in the future for
features such as PBN validation, this is going to become a lot more important.
As well, the next few commits that prepare us for and introduce suspend/resume
reprobing will also need clear locking in order to prevent from additional
racing hilarities that we never could have hit in the past.

So, let's solve this issue by using &mgr->base.lock, the modesetting
lock which currently only protects &mgr->base.state. This works
perfectly because it allows us to avoid blocking connection_mutex
unnecessarily, and we can grab this in connector detection paths since
it's a ww mutex. We start by having drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req() hold this
when updating ports. For drm_dp_mst_handle_link_address_port() things
are a bit more complicated. As I've learned the hard way, we can grab
&mgr->lock.base for everything except for port->connector. See, our
normal driver probing paths end up generating this rather obvious
lockdep chain:

&drm->mode_config.mutex
  -> crtc_ww_class_mutex/crtc_ww_class_acquire
    -> &connector->mutex

However, sysfs grabs &drm->mode_config.mutex in order to protect itself
from connector state changing under it. Because this entails grabbing
kn->count, e.g. the lock that the kernel provides for protecting sysfs
contexts, we end up grabbing kn->count followed by
&drm->mode_config.mutex. This ends up creating an extremely rude chain:

&kn->count
  -> &drm->mode_config.mutex
    -> crtc_ww_class_mutex/crtc_ww_class_acquire
      -> &connector->mutex

I mean, look at that thing! It's just evil!!! This gross thing ends up
making any calls to drm_connector_register()/drm_connector_unregister()
impossible when holding any kind of modesetting lock. This is annoying
because ideally, we always want to ensure that
drm_dp_mst_port->connector never changes when doing an atomic commit or
check that would affect the atomic topology state so that it can
reliably and easily be used from future DRM DP MST helpers to assist
with tasks such as scanning through the current VCPI allocations and
adding connectors which need to have their allocations updated in
response to a bandwidth change or the like.

Being able to hold &mgr->base.lock throughout the entire link probe
process would have been _great_, since we could prevent userspace from
ever seeing any states in-between individual port changes and as a
result likely end up with a much faster probe and more consistent
results from said probes. But without some rework of how we handle
connector probing in sysfs it's not at all currently possible. In the
future, maybe we can try using the sysfs locks to protect updates to
connector probing state and fix this mess.

So for now, to protect everything other than port->connector under
&mgr->base.lock and ensure that we still have the guarantee that atomic
check/commit contexts will never see port->connector change we use a
silly trick. See: port->connector only needs to change in order to
ensure that input ports (see the MST spec) never have a ghost connector
associated with them. But, there's nothing stopping us from simply
throwing the entire port out and creating a new one in order to maintain
that requirement while still keeping port->connector consistent across
the lifetime of the port in atomic check/commit contexts. For all
intended purposes this works fine, as we validate ports in any contexts
we care about before using them and as such will end up reporting the
connector as disconnected until it's port's destruction finalizes. So,
we just do that in cases where we detect port->input has transitioned
from true->false. We don't need to worry about the other direction,
since a port without a connector isn't visible to userspace and as such
doesn't need to be protected by &mgr->base.lock until we finish
registering a connector for it.

For updating members of drm_dp_mst_port other than port->connector, we
simply grab &mgr->base.lock in drm_dp_mst_link_probe_work() for already
registered ports, update said members and drop the lock before
potentially registering a connector and probing the link address of it's
children.

Finally, we modify drm_dp_mst_detect_port() to take a modesetting lock
acquisition context in order to acquire &mgr->base.lock under
&connection_mutex and convert all it's users over to using the
.detect_ctx probe hooks.

With that, we finally have well defined locking.

Changes since v4:
* Get rid of port->mutex, stop using connection_mutex and just use our own
  modesetting lock - mgr->base.lock. Also, add a probe_lock that comes
  before this patch.
* Just throw out ports that get changed from an output to an input, and
  replace them with new ports. This lets us ensure that modesetting
  contexts never see port->connector go from having a connector to being
  NULL.
* Write an extremely detailed explanation of what problems this is
  trying to fix, since there's a _lot_ of context here and I honestly
  forgot some of it myself a couple times.
* Don't grab mgr->lock when reading port->mstb in
  drm_dp_mst_handle_link_address_port(). It's not needed.

Overall makes sense to me. Thanks for the comprehensive commit message and
comments, they definitely help :)

Just one nit below,

Random musing: It's kind of unfortunate that we don't have a void varient of
drm_modeset_lock for when there's no acquire_ctx since we end up with a mix of
drm_modeset_lock calls with and without return checking.
