The function ttm_bo_put releases a reference to a TTM buffer object. The function's name is more aligned to the Linux kernel convention of naming ref-counting function _get and _put. A call to ttm_bo_unref takes the address of the TTM BO object's pointer and clears the pointer's value to NULL. This is not necessary in most cases and sometimes even worked around by the calling code. A call to ttm_bo_put only releases the reference without clearing the pointer. The current behaviour of cleaning the pointer is kept in the calling code, but should be removed if not required in a later patch. v2: * set prefix to drm/amdgpu Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c index f54d30186fd6..c5681477a3e2 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c @@ -841,9 +841,8 @@ void amdgpu_bo_unref(struct amdgpu_bo **bo) return; tbo = &((*bo)->tbo); - ttm_bo_unref(&tbo); - if (tbo == NULL) - *bo = NULL; + ttm_bo_put(tbo); + *bo = NULL; } /** -- 2.18.0 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
