This bug hurt me. Basically, it appears that we've been grabbing the entirely wrong mutex in the MST DSC computation code for amdgpu! While we've been grabbing: amdgpu_dm_connector->mst_mgr That's zero-initialized memory, because the only connectors we'll ever actually be doing DSC computations for are MST ports. Which have mst_mgr zero-initialized, and instead have the correct topology mgr pointer located at: amdgpu_dm_connector->mst_port->mgr; I'm a bit impressed that until now, this code has managed not to crash anyone's systems! It does seem to cause a warning in LOCKDEP though: [ 66.637670] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) This was causing the problems that appeared to have been introduced by: commit4d07b0bc40("drm/display/dp_mst: Move all payload info into the atomic state") This wasn't actually where they came from though. Presumably, before the only thing we were doing with the topology mgr pointer was attempting to grab mst_mgr->lock. Since the above commit however, we grab much more information from mst_mgr including the atomic MST state and respective modesetting locks. This patch also implies that up until now, it's quite likely we could be susceptible to race conditions when going through the MST topology state for DSC computations since we technically will not have grabbed any lock when going through it. So, let's fix this by adjusting all the respective code paths to look at the right pointer and skip things that aren't actual MST connectors from a topology.

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.
