From 85e26dd5100a182bf8448050427539c0a66ab793 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?= christian.koenig@amd.com Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 10:24:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/client: fix circular reference counting issue MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

We reference dump buffers both by their handle as well as their object. The problem is now that when anybody iterates over the DRM framebuffers and exports the underlying GEM objects through DMA-buf we run into a circular reference count situation.

The result is that the fbdev handling holds the GEM handle preventing the DMA-buf in the GEM object to be released. This DMA-buf in turn holds a reference to the driver module which on unload would release the fbdev.

Break that loop by releasing the handle as soon as the DRM framebuffer object is created. The DRM framebuffer and the DRM client buffer structure still hold a reference to the underlying GEM object preventing its destruction.
