Thanks for spotting this, it's a small window but definitely a bug.

This !mapping call to drm_gem_object_put() is suspicious. It doesn't
make any sense and if it can be reached is going to drive the reference
count negative. So I don't think the bug is completely gone.

If user space does the trick of freeing the handle between the call to
panfrost_gem_create_with_handle() and panfrost_gem_mapping_get() then
even with the extra reference we now have the call to
panfrost_gem_mapping_get() will fail and two references are dropped.

I think the whole _create_with_handle() approach was a bad idea and it's
best to simply drop the _with_handle part. I'll post a patch tidying
this up along with removing the drm_gem_object_put() in the !mapping case.

Thanks,

Steve
