Changelog v2:
fix page fault issue.
- defer to unreference old fb to avoid page fault issue.
So with this fixup, new fb would be updated to hardware
prior to old fb unreferencing. And it removes unnecessary
patch, "drm/exynos: Unreference fb in exynos_disable_plane()"

Changelog v1:
This patch releases the fb pended by page flip after fbdev is
restored propely. And fixes invalid memory access when drm is
released while doing pageflip.

This patch makes fb's refcount to be increased when setcrtc and
pageflip are requested. In other words, it increases fb's refcount
only if dma is going to access memory region to fb and decreases
old fb's because the old fb isn't accessed by dma anymore.

This could guarantee releasing gem buffer to the fb after dma
access to the gem buffer has been completed.

Hi Mr. Dae,

There is an issue with this approach.

Take this simple use case with just one crtc. (fbdev = fb0)

First, set fb1

we reference fb1 and unreference fb0.

Second, remove fb1

In this case, we are removing the current fb of the crtc 
We hit the function 'drm_helper_disable_unused_functions'.
Here, we try to disable the crtc and then we set crtc->fb = NULL.
So the value of crtc->fb is lost.

After drm release, we restore fbdev mode.

Now we reference fb0 - but we fail to unreference fb1. (old_fb is NULL)

So fb1 never gets freed thus causing a memory leak.

I tested this with modetest and each time the fb/gem memory never gets freed.

Also, another issue:

If a page flip is pending, you set the 'pending' flag and do not actually unreference the fb.
And you are freeing that fb after fbdev is restored.

In a normal setup, we release DRM only during system shutdown i.e. we open the drm
device during boot up and do not release drm till the end. But we keep page flipping and removing
framebuffers all the time.

In this case, the pending fb memory does not get freed till we actually release drm at the
very end.

I am not sure why this approach is required.
We are anyway waiting for vblank before removing a framebuffer so we can be sure that
the dma has stopped accessing the fb. Right?

Regards,
Prathyush
