[PATCH 1/1] drm/bochs: Fix connector leak during driver unload

[PATCH 1/1] drm/bochs: Fix connector leak during driver unload

[Sam Bobroff]

When unloading the bochs-drm driver, a warning message is printed by
drm_mode_config_cleanup() because a reference is still held to one of
the drm_connector structs.

Correct this by calling drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() in
bochs_pci_remove().

The issue is caused by the interaction of two previous commits. Both
together are required to cause it:
Fixes: 846c7dfc1193 ("drm/atomic: Try to preserve the crtc enabled state in drm_atomic_remove_fb, v2.")
Fixes: 6579c39594ae ("drm/bochs: atomic: switch planes to atomic, wire up helpers.")

Hello,

This seems to be similar to an issue I recently fixed for the AST driver:
1e613f3c630c ("drm/ast: Fix connector leak during driver unload")
Which is similar to at least one other recent fix:
192b4af6cd28 ("drm/tegra: Shutdown on driver unbind")

The fix seems to be the same, but this time I've tried to dig a little deeper
and use an appropriate Fixes tag to assist backporting.

Bisecting the issue for commits to drivers/gpu/drm/bochs/ points to:
6579c39594ae ("drm/bochs: atomic: switch planes to atomic, wire up helpers.")
... but the issue also seems to be due to a change in the generic drm code
(reverting it separately fixes the issue):
846c7dfc1193 ("drm/atomic: Try to preserve the crtc enabled state in drm_atomic_remove_fb, v2.")
... so I've included both in the commit.  Is that the right thing to do?

I couldn't help wondering if we should also update the comment for
drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), because it says:
"The fbdev is destroyed by drm_dev_unregister()"
... which implies to me that cleanup only requires that call, but actually
since 846c7dfc1193 you will always(?) need to use drm_atomic_helper_shutdown()
as well. (Is it actually always the case?)

Cheers,
Sam.

  Hi,

The bug is in the driver, so ...

... this one is the culprit and should be listed.

That only triggers the driver bug.

I'll fix it up on commit,
  Gerd

Sorry if I misunderstood, but were you going to take the patch and fix
it up or would you like me to post a v2?

Cheers,
Sam.

Patch is in drm-misc-next, I fixed it on commit.

cheers,
