Thomas Zimmermann e0f04e41e8 drm/atomic-helpers: Invoke end_fb_access while owning plane state
Invoke drm_plane_helper_funcs.end_fb_access before
drm_atomic_helper_commit_hw_done(). The latter function hands over
ownership of the plane state to the following commit, which might
free it. Releasing resources in end_fb_access then operates on undefined
state. This bug has been observed with non-blocking commits when they
are being queued up quickly.

Here is an example stack trace from the bug report. The plane state has
been free'd already, so the pages for drm_gem_fb_vunmap() are gone.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000100000049

 drm_gem_fb_vunmap+0x18/0x74

 drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail+0x90/0xa0
 commit_tail+0x15c/0x188
 commit_work+0x14/0x20

Fix this by running end_fb_access immediately after updating all planes
in drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes(). The existing clean-up helper
drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes() now only handles cleanup_fb.

For aborted commits, roll back from drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes()
in the new helper drm_atomic_helper_unprepare_planes(). This case is
different from regular cleanup, as we have to release the new state;
regular cleanup releases the old state. The new helper also invokes
cleanup_fb for all planes.

The changes mostly involve DRM's atomic helpers. Only two drivers, i915
and nouveau, implement their own commit function. Update them to invoke
drm_atomic_helper_unprepare_planes(). Drivers with custom commit_tail
function do not require changes.

v4:
	* fix documentation (kernel test robot)
v3:
	* add drm_atomic_helper_unprepare_planes() for rolling back
	* use correct state for end_fb_access
v2:
	* fix test in drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes()

README

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.
