Subject: drm: Send pending vblank events before disabling vblank.
From: Christopher James Halse Rogers <[email protected]>
commit 498548ec69c6897fe4376b2ca90758762fa0b817 upstream.
This is the least-bad behaviour. It means that we signal the
vblank event before it actually happens, but since we're disabling
vblanks there's no guarantee that it will *ever* happen otherwise.
This prevents GL applications which use WaitMSC from hanging
indefinitely.
