[RFC v1] drm: add reference count of gem object name

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

 



Hello, all.

This patch introduces reference count of gem object name and resolves
the below issue.

In case that proces A shares its own gem object with process B,
process B opens a gem object name from process A to get its own
gem handle. But if process A closes the gem handle, the gem object
name to this is also released. So the gem object name that process
B referring to becomes invalid. I'm not sure that this is issue or
not but at least, gem object name IS NOT process-unique but IS
gem object-unique. So I think the gem object name shared by process A
should be preserved as long as the gem object has not been released.

Below is simple example.

at P1:
1. gem create	=>	obj_refcount = 1
2. gem flink	=>	obj_refcount = 2  (allocate obj_name)
5. gem close
	a. obj_refcount = 2 and release the obj_name
	b. obj_refcount = 1 once the obj_name release

3. and share it with P2

at P2:
4. gem open	=>	obj_refcount = 3
6. the obj_name from P1 is invalid.
7. gem close	=>	obj_refcount = 0(released)

And with this patch,

at P1:
1. gem create	=>	obj_refcount = 1, name_refcount = 0
2. gem flink	=>	obj_refcount = 2, name_refcount = 1  (allocate obj_name)
5. gem close	=>	obj_refcount = 2, name_refcount = 1

3. and share it with P2

at P2:
4. gem open	=>	obj_refcount = 3, name_refcount = 2
6. the gem object name from P1 is valid.
7. gem close
	a. obj_refcount = 1, name_refcount = 0(released)
	b. obj_refcount = 0(released) once name_ref_count = 0

There may be my missing point so please give me any advice.

Thanks,
Inki Dae
