[PATCH 1/9] drm/connector: Make the drm_sysfs connector->kdev device hold a reference to the connector

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Userspace could hold open a reference to the connector->kdev device,
through e.g. holding a sysfs-atrtribute open after
drm_sysfs_connector_remove() has been called. In this case the connector
could be free-ed while the connector->kdev device's drvdata is still
pointing to it.

Give drm_connector devices there own device type, which allows
us to specify our own release function and make drm_sysfs_connector_add()
take a reference on the connector object, and have the new release
function put the reference when the device is released.

Giving drm_connector devices there own device type, will also allow
checking if a device is a drm_connector device with a
"if (device->type == &drm_sysfs_device_connector)" check.

Note that the setting of the name member of the device_type struct will
cause udev events for drm_connector-s to now contain DEVTYPE=drm_connector
as extra info. So this extends the uevent part of the userspace API.
