Since the debugfs may peek into the GEM contexts as the corresponding client/fd is being closed, we may try and follow a dangling pointer. However, the context closure itself is serialised with the ctx->mutex, so if we hold that mutex as we inspect the state coupled in the context, we know the pointers within the context are stable and will remain valid as we inspect their tables.

I'm not super thrilled about patch 1 in this, for debugfs imo better to wrangle this in the driver. And without patch 1 and 2 this wont fix a whole lot.
I try to avoid spending too much time coming up with smart solutions for _debugfs_. So I was going by the fact it obviously fixes something so it is an improvement.
But your proposal to swith iteration to files->contexts also seems would work. It would be slightly semantically different where it wouldn't show the contexts which are active on the GPU but clients have exited, but its debugfs so no one should care.
