Hi Chris, thank you for the quick response (on a weekend no less).

You're absolutely right, thanks for pointing this out. I'm posting a rectified v4 right now. > It's much simpler if you just document this as consuming the > obj reference. Yes but I believe that is what Ville took exception to. If you guys all agree that documenting this is sufficient then you can just merge Tvrtko's v2. The rationale of the v3 + v4 I've submitted is to offer an alternative in the hope of pushing this forward. > If you want to fix it, you have to move the struct_mutex into > the caller i.e. eliminate intel_framebuffer_create() and call > __intel_framebuffer_create(). Hm, I don't understand. The (locking) intel_framebuffer_create is used by intel_framebuffer_create_for_mode as well as intel_user_framebuffer_create. The (non-locking) __intel_framebuffer_create is used by intelfb_alloc. So it seems both are needed. Daniel added __intel_framebuffer_create with a8bb6818270c ("drm/i915: Fix error path leak in fbdev fb allocation"). Incidentally this is also the commit that introduced the double unref. :-) We could eliminate the (non-locking) __intel_framebuffer_create however by briefly unlocking struct_mutex in intelfb_alloc after i915_gem_alloc_object and then relocking before intel_pin_and_fence_fb_obj (this is on top of Tvrtko's patch which moves the locking from intelfb_create to intelfb_alloc).
