Currently, it is possible for the composer to be set as enabled and then
as disabled without a proper call for the vkms_vblank_simulate(). This
is problematic, because the driver would skip one CRC output, causing CRC
tests to fail. Therefore, we need to make sure that, for each time the
composer is set as enabled, a composer job is added to the queue.
In order to provide this guarantee, add a mutex that will lock before
the composer is set as enabled and will unlock only after the composer
job is added to the queue. This way, we can have a guarantee that the
driver won't skip a CRC entry.
This race-condition is affecting the IGT test "writeback-check-output",
making the test fail and also, leaking writeback framebuffers, as the
writeback job is queued, but it is not signaled. This patch avoids both
problems.
[v2]:
* Create a new mutex and keep the spinlock across the atomic commit in
order to avoid interrupts that could result in deadlocks.

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.
