My branch already grabs an extra reference when creating a new
dmabuf_obj, which will be dropped on GET_DMABUF ioctl, exactly to avoid
the dmabuf_obj disappear between QUERY_PLANE and GET_DMABUF ioctls.

Can easily be extended to handle the reuse case too.

While being at it also cleanup properly on close (so we don't leak
structs in case userspace never calls GET_DMABUF for a plane).

Work fine.  qemu can import the dma-buf as opengl texture, which
creates a extra reference.  Then close the fd.  dma-buf continues to
exist as long as the texture referencing it exists.

Sorry, I don't understand that sentence.

cheers,
