drm/vc4: Fix non-blocking commit getting stuck forever
In some situation, we can end up being stuck on a non-blocking that went through properly. The situation that seems to trigger it reliably is to first start a non-blocking commit, and then right after, and before we had any vblank interrupt), start a blocking commit. This will lead to the first commit workqueue to be scheduled, setup the display, while the second commit is waiting for the first one to be completed. The vblank interrupt will then be raised, vc4_crtc_handle_vblank() will run and will compare the active dlist in the HVS channel to the one associated with the crtc->state. However, at that point, the second commit is waiting using drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies that occurs after drm_atomic_helper_swap_state has been called, so crtc->state points to the second commit state. vc4_crtc_handle_vblank() will compare the two dlist addresses and since they don't match will ignore the interrupt. The vblank event will never be reported, and the first and second commit will wait for the first commit completion until they timeout. The underlying reason is that it was never safe to do so. Indeed, accessing the ->state pointer access synchronization is based on ownership guarantees that can only occur within the functions and hooks defined as part of the KMS framework, and obviously the irq handler isn't one of them. The rework to move to generic helpers only uncovered the underlying issue. However, since the code path between drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_dependencies() and drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks() is serialised and we can't get two commits in that path at the same time, we can work around this issue by setting a variable associated to struct drm_crtc to the dlist we expect, and then using it from the vc4_crtc_handle_vblank() function. Since that state is shared with the modesetting path, we also need to introduce a spinlock to protect the code shared between the interrupt handler and the modesetting path, protecting only our new variable for now.
