Since I now have been staring for half a year at the code of the driver that made pinning an art, I have a couple of suggestions here, Could we use an atomic for pin_count, allowing unlocked unpinning but require the lock only for pin_count transition 0->1, (but unlocked for pin_if_already_pinned). In particular I think vmwgfx would benefit from unlocked unpins. Also if the atomic were a refcount_t, that would probably give you the above behaviour?

What's the benefit?

I'm asking because, there's been talk about streamlining all the GEM locking and actually allowing dma-buf resv locking in pin and vmap operations. Atomic ops might not contradict this, but also might not be useful in the long term.

The benefit would be that at unpinning time it might be tricky to take the reservation lock, because you might be already in a ww transaction.

But Christian pointed out the LRU complications...
