[Why] Cursor updates must acquire the pipe control lock to prevent vupdate from triggering in the middle of cursor programming. On DCN1 the pipe control lock prevents pageflips from occurring. This means that a cursor update right before vupdate can delay a pending pageflip [How] If the time until the next vupdate is less than a conservative estimate of the cursor programming time, wait until the vupdate has passed before locking.

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.
