drm/i915: fix hpd work vs. flush_work in the pageflip code deadlock
Historically we've run our own driver hotplug handling in our own work-queue, which then launched the drm core hotplug handling in the system workqueue. This is important since we flush our own driver workqueue in the pageflip code while hodling modeset locks, and only the drm hotplug code grabbed these locks. But with commit 69787f7da6b2adc4054357a661aaa1701a9ca76f Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Oct 23 18:23:34 2012 +0000 drm: run the hpd irq event code directly this was changed and now we could deadlock in our flip handler if there's a hotplug work blocking the progress of the crucial unpin works. So this broke the careful deadlock avoidance implemented in commit b4a98e57fc27854b5938fc8b08b68e5e68b91e1f Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Thu Nov 1 09:26:26 2012 +0000 drm/i915: Flush outstanding unpin tasks before pageflipping Since the rule thus far has been that work items on our own workqueue may never grab modeset locks simply restore that rule again. v2: Add a comment to the declaration of dev_priv->wq to warn readers about the tricky implications of using it.
