Re: [PATCH v3 0/2] drm: Fix dma_resv deadlock at drm object pin time

Hi,

ignoring my r-b on patch 1, I'd like to rethink the current patches in
general.

I think drm_gem_shmem_pin() should become the locked version of _pin(),
so that drm_gem_shmem_object_pin() can call it directly. The existing
_pin_unlocked() would not be needed any longer. Same for the _unpin()
functions. This change would also fix the consistency with the semantics
of the shmem _vmap() functions, which never take reservation locks.

There are only two external callers of drm_gem_shmem_pin(): the test
case and panthor. These assume that drm_gem_shmem_pin() acquires the
reservation lock. The test case should likely call drm_gem_pin()
instead. That would acquire the reservation lock and the test would
validate that shmem's pin helper integrates well into the overall GEM
framework. The way panthor uses drm_gem_shmem_pin() looks wrong to me.
For now, it could receive a wrapper that takes the lock and that's it.

Best regards
Thomas
