[PATCH 2/2] drm/vkms: Use drm_dev_unplug() for ConfigFS device removal
From: Sebastian Wick
Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 19:03:11 EST
VKMS ConfigFS devices can be disabled while userspace still holds open
file descriptors. Using drm_dev_unregister() leaves the device in a
state where ioctls are still accepted but internal locks can contend
with the teardown path. Specifically, drmModeGetConnector() triggers
fill_modes which acquires mode_config locks that contend with
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown().
Use drm_dev_unplug() instead, which marks the device as unplugged so
the ioctl layer rejects subsequent calls with -ENODEV. The previous
commit added drm_dev_enter()/drm_dev_exit() guards to vkms callbacks,
so synchronize_srcu() in drm_dev_unplug() properly waits for any
in-flight operations before the teardown proceeds.
