This adds several thousand NULL checks where there were previously none.
I doubt the compiler eliminates them all.

I'd suggest reverting
b5d250744ccc ("drm/gem: fold drm_gem_object_put_unlocked and __drm_gem_object_put()")
I didn't looked into this patch in detail, but allowing to call *_put()
functions with NULL and nothing bad happens is rather common practice.

On the other hand I agree that this might cause a performance problem. How
many sites do we have which could call drm_gem_object_put() with NULL?
Hm how did we even get to a place where one of the _put functions had a
NULL check and the other didn't?

No idea.

I do expect the compiler to clean up the entire mess, only place where I
can think of NULL checks is dumb cleanup code when driver load failed
halfway through. In all other places the compiler should have some
evidence that the pointer isn't NULL. But would be good to check that's
the case and we're not doing something stupid here ...

Well Nirmoy is blocked, so we need a solution fast. Auditing all call sites is not an option.

Revert or this one here I would say, either one is fine with me.

Christian.
