Add a mutex lock to protect concurrent access to I/O registers against each other. This happens between invocation of commit- tail functions and get-mode operations. Both with use the CRTC index registers MGA1064_GEN_IO_DATA and MGA1064_GEN_IO_CTL. Concurrent access can lead to failed mode-setting operations. v2: * fix typo in commit description (Jocelyn) * add comment to explain rmmio_lock Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220502142514.2174-4-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
