If drm_modeset_lock() returns -EDEADLK, the caller is supposed to drop all currently held locks using drm_modeset_backoff(). Failing to do so will result in warnings and backtraces on the paths trying to lock a contended lock. Add support for optionally printing the backtrace on the path that hit the deadlock and didn't gracefully handle the situation. For example, the patch [1] inadvertently dropped the return value check and error return on replacing calc_watermark_data() with intel_compute_global_watermarks(). The backtraces on the subsequent locking paths hitting WARN_ON(ctx->contended) were unhelpful, but adding the backtrace to the deadlock path produced this helpful printout: <7> [98.002465] drm_modeset_lock attempting to lock a contended lock without backoff: drm_modeset_lock+0x107/0x130 drm_atomic_get_plane_state+0x76/0x150 skl_compute_wm+0x251d/0x2b20 [i915] intel_atomic_check+0x1942/0x29e0 [i915] drm_atomic_check_only+0x554/0x910 drm_atomic_nonblocking_commit+0xe/0x50 drm_mode_atomic_ioctl+0x8c2/0xab0 drm_ioctl_kernel+0xac/0x140 Add new CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MODESET_LOCK to enable modeset lock debugging with stack depot and trace.

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.
