- Modeset state needs mode_config->connection mutex, that covers figuring out the encoder, and reading properties (since in the atomic case those need to look at connector->state). - Don't hold any locks for stuff that's invariant (i.e. possible connectors). - Same for connector lookup and unref, those don't need any locks. - And finally the probe stuff is only protected by mode_config->mutex. While at it updated the kerneldoc for these fields in drm_connector and add docs explaining what's protected by which locks.

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.
