This patch adds a couple of helpers to remove the boilerplate involved in grabbing all of the modeset locks. I've also converted the obvious cases in drm core to use the helpers. The only remaining instance of drm_modeset_lock_all_ctx() is in drm_framebuffer. It's complicated by the state clear that occurs on deadlock. ATM, there's no way to inject code in the deadlock path with the helpers, so it's unfit for conversion. Changes in v2: - Relocate ret argument to the end of the list (Daniel) - Incorporate Daniel's doc suggestions (Daniel) Suggested-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Sean Paul <seanpaul@chromium.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20181129150423.239081-4-sean@poorly.run
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.
