The stuff never really worked, and leads to lots of fun because it
out-of-order frees atomic states. Which upsets KASAN, among other
things.
For async updates we now have a more solid solution with the
->atomic_async_check and ->atomic_async_commit hooks. Support for that
for msm and vc4 landed. nouveau and i915 have their own commit
routines, doing something similar.
For everyone else it's probably better to remove the use-after-free
bug, and encourage folks to use the async support instead. The
affected drivers which register a legacy cursor plane and don't either
use the new async stuff or their own commit routine are: amdgpu,
atmel, mediatek, qxl, rockchip, sti, sun4i, tegra, virtio, and vmwgfx.
Inspired by an amdgpu bug report.
v2: Drop RFC, I think with amdgpu converted over to use

Date: Wed Dec 5 14:59:07 2018 -0500
drm/amd/display: Add fast path for cursor plane updates
we don't have any driver anymore where we have userspace expecting
solid legacy cursor support _and_ they are using the atomic helpers in
their fully glory. So we can retire this.
v3: Paper over msm and i915 regression. The complete_all is the only
thing missing afaict.
v4: Fixup i915 fixup ...
v5: Unallocate the crtc->event in msm to avoid hitting a WARN_ON in
dpu_crtc_atomic_flush(). This is a bit a hack, but simplest way to
untangle this all. Thanks to Abhinav Kumar for the debug help.

Thanks for submitting that patch. It's been in the downstream RPi tree
for a while, so I'd really like it to be merged eventually :)
Acked-by: Maxime Ripard <[email protected]>

Hi Maxime, Daniel,
We encountered similar issue with mediatek SoCs.
We have found that in drm_atomic_helper_commit_rpm(), when disabling
the cursor plane, the old_state->legacy_cursor_update in
drm_atomic_wait_for_vblank() is set to true.
As the result, we are not actually waiting for a vlbank to wait for our
hardware to close the cursor plane. Subsequently, the execution
proceeds to drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes() to free the cursor
buffer. This can lead to use-after-free issues with our hardware.
Could you please apply this patch to fix our problem?
Or are there any considerations for not applying this patch?
Regards,
Jason-JH.Lin

Mostly it needs someone to collect a pile of acks/tested-by and then land
it.
I'd be _very_ happy if someone else can take care of that ...
There's also the potential issue that it might slow down some of the
legacy X11 use-cases that really needed a non-blocking cursor, but I think
all the drivers where this matters have switched over to the async plane
update stuff meanwhile. So hopefully that's good.
Cheers, Sima

I think there was also a regression with msm no one really figured out?

Got it. I would add tested-by tag for mediatek SoC.

I think all the drivers should have switched to async plane update.
Can we add the checking condition to see if atomic_async_update/check
function are implemented?

OK...
But I am only available on MediaTek platform.
Does it also causes a regression with msn if I re-send a patch for
drm_atomic_helper.c only?

I can check this on all sensible msm generations, including mdp4, but
it will be next week, after the FOSDEM.
BTW, for technical reasons one of the msm platforms still has the
legacy cursor implementation might it be related?

I think most of us are in that situation, and which is part of the
reason it kind of stalled :)

Yes, that's my recollection at least.
Fortunately, Dmitry might be able to clear that up.

Pretty sure not all have done that, so really it boils down to whether we
break a real user's use-case. Which pretty much can only be checked by
merging the patch (hence the requirement to get as many acks as possible
from display drivers) and then being willing to handle any fallout that's
reported as regressions for a specific driver.
It's a pile of work, at least when it goes south, that's why I'm looking
for volunteers.
Note that handling the fallout doesn't mean you have to fix that specific
driver, the only realistic option might be to reinstate the legacy cursor
behaviour, but as an explicit opt-in that only that specific driver
enables.
So maybe for next round of that patch it might be good to have a 2nd patch
which implements this fallback plan in the shared atomic modeset code?

Yeah, msm is one of the drivers I had to change with some hacks to avoid
really bad fallout. It should still work like before, but that's one that
definitely needs testing.
