Adding the vm to the vm_xa table makes it visible to userspace, which
could try to race with us to close the vm. So we need to take our extra
reference before putting it in the table.

Note, you could list commit e1a7ab4fca0c ("drm/i915: Remove the vm open
count") as the "fixed" commit, but really the issue seems to go back
much further (with the fix needing some backporting in the process).
It would probably be rather essential to identify the correct Fixes: tag.
Since Thomas, Matt and Niranjana you were directly involved in the patch
which changed significantly how this works, perhaps there is something
still somewhat easily retrievable from your memory lanes to help with this?
Sorry for the delay. Fix looks good to me,

Looking at the git history, the fixes tag I think needs to be:
Fixes: 9ec8795e7d91 ("drm/i915: Drop __rcu from gem_context->vm")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v5.16+
As discussed offline this looks correct to me too. Thanks for looking
into it!
Since the CI was green I have now merged the patch. Thanks for the fix Rob!

Tvrtko
P.S. Backport to kernels which do not contain e1a7ab4fca0c ("drm/i915:
Remove the vm open count"), so 5.16 to 5.18, will require a slightly
different patch as Matt has also mentioned offline.

Tvrtko
