Linux kernel source tree
ddadd40892
Private objects storing a state shared across all CRTCs need to be carefully handled to avoid a use-after-free issue. The proper way to do this to track all the commits using that shared state and wait for the previous commits to be done before going on with the current one to avoid the reordering of commits that could occur. However, this commit setup needs to be done after drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit(), because before the CRTC commit structure hasn't been allocated before, and before the workqueue is scheduled, because we would be potentially reordered already otherwise. That means that drivers currently have to roll their own drm_atomic_helper_commit() function, even though it would be identical if not for the commit setup. Let's introduce a hook to do so that would be called as part of drm_atomic_helper_commit, allowing us to reuse the atomic helpers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
