I've broken this by removing the backoff handling from the
set_config2atomic helper in

commit 38b6441e4e75c0b319cfe4d9364c1059fc1e3c2b
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

    drm/atomic-helper: Remove the backoff hack from set_config

Fixing this properly would mean we get to wire the acquire_ctx all the
way through vmwgfx fbdev code, and doing the same was tricky for the
shared fbdev layer. Probably much better to look into refactoring the
entire code to use the helpers, but since that's not a viable
long-term solution fix the issue by open-coding a vmwgfx version of
set_config, that does the legacy backoff dance internally.

Note: Just compile-tested. The idea is to take
drm_mode_set_config_internal(), remove the "is this a legacy driver"
check, and whack the drm_atomic_legacy_backoff trickery at the end.
Since drm_atomic_legacy_backoff is for atomic commits only we need to
open-code it.

Hi, Daniel.

It appears to work fine. Thanks!

Do you want to take it through drm-misc or want me to take it throuch
vmwgfx-next?

Oh sweet, tbh I didn't expect this kind of blind typing without a clear
theory to work out so well :-) Did you test this with
CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH? Just to make sure I didn't botch up the
retry path.

Sean will pick it up before he does the final 4.12 -misc pull later today,
so that this vmwgfx regression is resolved.

I'm digging around in the fbev locking again, and stumbled over this.
Any plans for vmwgfx to switch over to the core fbdev emulation
helpers? If not I'll have to put another layer of hacks around this,
and it's kinda getting unsightly :(

My goal is to remove any usage of the implicit
mode_config.acquire_context since that just breaks the wait/wound
mutex locking scheme and doesn't really work together with atomic
drivers. Once fbdev helpers and the property setting are fixed this
here is the last place (minus something in i915 that I'll take care of
of course). I'm getting close to that point.

Thanks, Daniel

It's on our todo-list but I don't think any work on this will take place 
during summer, because of vacations etc.

Thanks,
Thomas
