    drm/amd/display: Use private obj helpers for dm_atomic_state · eb3dc897
    Nicholas Kazlauskas authored
    [Why]
    Two non-blocking commits in succession can result in a sequence where
    the same dc->current_state is queried for both commits.
    
    1. 1st commit -> check -> commit -> swaps atomic state -> queues work
    2. 2nd commit -> check -> commit -> swaps atomic state -> queues work
    3. 1st commit work finishes
    
    The issue with this sequence is that the same dc->current_state is
    read in both atomic checks. If the first commit modifies streams or
    planes those will be missing from the dc->current_state for the
    second atomic check. This result in many stream and plane errors in
    atomic commit tail.
    
    [How]
    The driver still needs to track old to new state to determine if the
    commit in its current implementation. Updating the dc_state in
    atomic tail is wrong since the dc_state swap should be happening as
    part of drm_atomic_helper_swap_state *before* the worker queue kicks
    its work off.
    
    The simplest replacement for the subclassing (which doesn't properly
    manage the old to new atomic state swap) is to use the drm private
    object helpers. While some of the dc_state members could be merged
    into dm_crtc_state or dm_plane_state and copied over that way it is
    easier for now to just treat the whole dc_state structure as a single
    private object.
    
    This allows amdgpu_dm to drop the dc->current_state copy from within
    atomic check. It's replaced by a copy from the current atomic state
    which is propagated correctly for the sequence described above.
    
    Since access to the dm_state private object is now locked this should
    also fix issues that could arise if submitting non-blocking commits
    from different threads.
