Yeah that won't work :-)
The problem is that you have a pointer to the file without holding a
reference. But if you'd hold a full reference then there's a loop and it
never frees.
We need the same trick as for dma_buf and gem objects where we track the
number of idr entries in ->handle_count and drop the ->file cache when
that reaches 0.
Or you just allocate a new file every time userspace asks for one. The
only reason we cache them for dma-buf is to allow userspace to figure out
uniqueness of reimported stuff (since some drivers reject execbuf if you
give them the underlying object twice). This option is definitely less
typing if you can get away with it :-)
