drm: Update todo.rst
Internship season is starting, let's review this. One thing that's pending is Maxime's work to roll out drm_atomic_state pointers to all callbacks, he said he'll remove that entry once it's all done. v2: Fix typos (Maxime) Acked-by: Maxime Ripard <maxime@cerno.tech> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210121112919.1460322-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch

KMS cleanups
|
||||
------------
|

Object lifetime fixes
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Some of these date from the very introduction of KMS in 2008 ...
|
||||
There's two related issues here
|
||||
|
||||
- Make ->funcs and ->helper_private vtables optional. There's a bunch of empty
|
||||
function tables in drivers, but before we can remove them we need to make sure
|
||||
that all the users in helpers and drivers do correctly check for a NULL
|
||||
vtable.
|
||||
- Cleanup up the various ->destroy callbacks, which often are all the same
|
||||
simple code.
|
||||
|
||||
- Cleanup up the various ->destroy callbacks. A lot of them just wrapt the
|
||||
drm_*_cleanup implementations and can be removed. Some tack a kfree() at the
|
||||
end, for which we could add drm_*_cleanup_kfree(). And then there's the (for
|
||||
historical reasons) misnamed drm_primary_helper_destroy() function.
|
||||
- Lots of drivers erroneously allocate DRM modeset objects using devm_kzalloc,
|
||||
which results in use-after free issues on driver unload. This can be serious
|
||||
trouble even for drivers for hardware integrated on the SoC due to
|
||||
EPROBE_DEFERRED backoff.
|
||||
|
||||
Both these problems can be solved by switching over to drmm_kzalloc(), and the
|
||||
various convenience wrappers provided, e.g. drmm_crtc_alloc_with_planes(),
|
||||
drmm_universal_plane_alloc(), ... and so on.

internship task, since it only requires a virtual machine and can be sized to

fit the available time.
