Before module unload is called, gpu_idle() will switch to default context. This will increment ref count of base object as the default context is 'running' on module unload time. Unreference the drm object so that when context is freed, base object is freed as well. v2: added comment to explain the refcounts (Ben Widawsky) Signed-off-by: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala at intel.com> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c index 9e8c685..280617e 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_context.c @@ -274,6 +274,14 @@ void i915_gem_context_fini(struct drm_device *dev) intel_gpu_reset(dev); i915_gem_object_unpin(dctx->obj); + + /* When default context is created and switched to, base object refcount + * will be 2 (+1 from object creation and +1 from do_switch()). + * i915_gem_context_fini() will be called after gpu_idle() has switched + * to default context.
