Generate a hotplug event after registering a client to allow the
client to configure its display. Remove the hotplug calls from the
existing clients for fbdev emulation. This change fixes a concurrency
bug between registering a client and receiving events from the DRM
core. The bug is present in the fbdev emulation of all drivers.

The fbdev emulation currently generates a hotplug event before
registering the client to the device. For each new output, the DRM
core sends an additional hotplug event to each registered client.

If the DRM core detects first output between sending the artificial
hotplug and registering the device, the output's hotplug event gets
lost. If this is the first output, the fbdev console display remains
dark. This has been observed with amdgpu and fbdev-generic.

Fix this by adding hotplug generation directly to the client's
register helper drm_client_register(). Registering the client and
receiving events are serialized by struct drm_device.clientlist_mutex.
So an output is either configured by the initial hotplug event, or
the client has already been registered.

The bug was originally added in commit 6e3f17ee73f7 ("drm/fb-helper:
generic: Call drm_client_add() after setup is done"), in which adding
a client and receiving a hotplug event switched order. It was hidden,
as most hardware and drivers have at least on static output configured.
Other drivers didn't use the internal DRM client or still had struct
drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed set. That callback handled
hotplug events as well. After not setting the callback in amdgpu in
commit 0e3172bac3f4 ("drm/amdgpu: Don't set struct
drm_driver.output_poll_changed"), amdgpu did not show a framebuffer
console if output events got lost. The bug got copy-pasted from
fbdev-generic into the other fbdev emulation.

Aren't you missing a Fixes: for 0e3172bac3f4 too? Since that's the commit
that unmasked the bug for amdgpu, IMO that is the most important to list.

While it's true that the but was introduced by commit 6e3f17ee73f7 and that
landed in v5.2, I wonder if this patch could even be applied to such olders
Linux versions. Probably in practice it would be at most backported to
v6.2, which is the release that exposed the bug for the amdgpu driver.

Your explanation makes sense to me and the patch looks good.

No idea. The fix looks simple enough, but a lot has changed in the 
surrounding code.

Actually it needs to go to at least 6.1.y.

Moritz found it in 6.1.35 (not present in 6.1.34).

BTW: As you have been clearing this area. I see that significant amount 
of DRM drivers use exactly the same code for msm_fbdev_client_funcs and 
for the significant part of foo_fbdev_setup(). Do you have any plans for 
moving that into a library / generic code? If not, I can take a look at 
crafting the patch.

You're not the first to ask. :) I've so far not attempted to address 
this duplication. I've been bitten by premature helperization before, so 
I wanted to wait a bit longer. A lot of the fbdev and client code is 
changing quite a bit. After things stabilized, I want to to try to do 
some more code sharing.

Best regards
Thomas

Ack, thank you for sharing this.
