drm/locking: add backtrace for locking contended locks without backoff
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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

   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.

Enable debug tracing of failures to gracefully handle drm modeset lock
contention. A history of each drm modeset lock path hitting -EDEADLK
will be saved until gracefully handled, and the backtrace will be
printed when attempting to lock a contended lock.

If in doubt, say "N".
