So what you describe could only happen if there's an imbalance elsewhere such that amdgpu_bo_unref is called more often than amdgpu_bo_ref, or maybe if amdgpu_bo_reserve fails in amdgpu_display_unpin_work_func (in which case the "failed to reserve buffer after flip" error message should appear in dmesg).

It would be expected to happen when the screen turns off, e.g. due to DPMS.

Yeah, that's the normal case when the new BO is different from the old one.

To catch the case I described, try something like

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/dce_v11_0.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/dce_v11_0.c
