mode_valid() called from drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() may need to look at connector->state because what a valid mode is may depend on connector properties being set. For example some HDMI modes might be rejected when a connector property forces the connector into DVI mode. Some implementations of detect() already lock all state, so we have to pass an acquire_ctx to them to prevent a deadlock. This means changing the function signature of detect() slightly, and passing the acquire_ctx for locking multiple crtc's. For the callbacks, it will always be non-zero. To allow callers not to worry about this, drm_helper_probe_detect_ctx is added which might handle -EDEADLK for you. Changes since v1: - Always set ctx parameter. Changes since v2: - Always take connection_mutex when probing. Changes since v3: - Remove the ctx from intel_dp_long_pulse, and add WARN_ON(!connection_mutex) (danvet) - Update docs to clarify the locking situation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
