You have a clone? You only need one SOB.

Should you check if dmabuf is NULL and or dmabuf->ops is NULL too?

Hm, you probably don't need to check for dmabuf, but from
looking at  dma_buf_export one could pass  a NULL for the ops.

No checking here for ops or ops->release?

Whoa. Crash the whole kernel b/c of this? No no. You should
use WARN_ON and just return NULL.

Hmm, why not return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); ?

Should you check if dmabuf is NULL first?

Yikes. BUG_ON? Can't you do WARN_ON and continue on without
doing the refcounting?

'struct device' should be at the same column as 'struct dma_buf' ..

Again, BUG_ON...

No checking first of dmabuf->ops?
