It was only needed to protect the connector_list walking, see commit8c4ccc4ab6Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Thu Jul 9 23:44:26 2015 +0200 drm/probe-helper: Grab mode_config.mutex in poll_init/enable Unfortunately the commit message of that patch fails to mention that the new locking check was for the connector_list. But that requirement disappeared in commitc36a3254f7Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Thu Dec 15 16:58:43 2016 +0100 drm: Convert all helpers to drm_connector_list_iter and so we can drop this again. This fixes a locking inversion on nouveau, where the rpm code needs to re-enable. But in other places the rpm_get() calls are nested within the big modeset locks. While at it, also improve the kerneldoc for these two functions a notch. v2: Update the kerneldoc even more to explain that these functions can't be called concurrently, or bad things happen (Chris).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
