We can reduce the critical section in vkms_vblank_simulate under output->lock quite a lot: - hrtimer_forward_now just needs to be ordered correctly wrt drm_crtc_handle_vblank. We already access the hrtimer timestamp without locks. While auditing that I noticed that we don't correctly annotate the read there, so sprinkle a READ_ONCE to make sure the compiler doesn't do anything foolish. - drm_crtc_handle_vblank must stay under the lock to avoid races with drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event. - The access to vkms_ouptut->crc_state also must stay under the lock. - next problem is making sure the output->state structure doesn't get freed too early. First we rely on a given hrtimer being serialized: If we call drm_crtc_handle_vblank, then we are guaranteed that the previous call to vkms_vblank_simulate has completed. The other side of the coin is that the atomic updates waits for the vblank to happen before it releases the old state. Both taken together means that by the time the atomic update releases the old state, the hrtimer won't access it anymore (it might be accessing the new state at the same time, but that's ok). - state is invariant, except the few fields separate protected by state->crc_lock. So no need to hold the lock for that. - finally the queue_work. We need to make sure there's no races with the flush_work, i.e. when we call flush_work we need to guarantee that the hrtimer can't requeue the work again. This is guaranteed by the same vblank/hrtimer ordering guarantees like the reasoning above why state won't be freed too early: flush_work on the old state is called after wait_for_flip_done in the atomic commit code. Therefore we can also move everything after the output->crc_state out of the critical section. Motivated by suggestions from Rodrigo.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
