Subject: [i915-rt v6 02/24] drm/vblank: Add a 2-stage version of drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 09:37:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220083657.28815-28-dev@lankhorst.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220083657.28815-26-dev@lankhorst.se>

When trying to fix the hardware programming in intel/display, I had
to take all the vblank locks with local_irqs_disabled(). This
required converting the entire vblank code to raw spinlocks.

In the alternative approach, do all preparations in advance, and only
enable the vblank_event with interrupts disabled, this requires only
a simple write and prevents a complete re-architecture of the code.
