Subject: [PATCH] drm/dp_mst: Handle torn-down topology gracefully in drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe()
Date: Sun,  3 May 2026 05:45:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503034533.1023686-1-jonas.emilsson@gmail.com> (raw)

A hotplug or link-loss event can tear down the MST topology
(setting mgr->mst_state = false and mgr->mst_primary = NULL) concurrently
with a caller invoking drm_dp_mst_topology_queue_probe(). Since the check
is already performed under mgr->lock, the condition is not a programming
error but a valid race -- the topology was valid when the caller decided
to call this function, but was torn down before the lock was acquired.

Replace the drm_WARN_ON() with a graceful early return. This eliminates
spurious kernel warnings and the resulting compositor crashes observed
when connecting/disconnecting DP MST monitors, while keeping the correct
behavior of doing nothing when MST is not active. A drm_dbg_mst() trace
is added so the skipped probe remains observable under MST debug logging.

The existing WARN_ON(mgr->mst_primary) in drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr_set_mst()
already catches the case where the topology is initialized twice, so no
diagnostic coverage is lost.

Fixes: dbaeef363ea5 ("drm/dp_mst: Add a helper to queue a topology probe")
