How about using a single static stub fence like I suggested?

Sorry, I don't get your meanings, how to do that?

Add a new function drm_syncobj_stub_fence_init() which is called from drm_core_init() when the module is loaded.

In drm_syncobj_stub_fence_init() you initialize one static stub_fence which is then used over and over again.

Since its reference count never goes down to zero it should never be freed. In doubt maybe add a .free callback which just calls BUG() to catch reference count issues.

Christian.

Thanks,
David
