When unloading the bochs-drm driver, a warning message is printed by drm_mode_config_cleanup() because a reference is still held to one of the drm_connector structs. Correct this by calling drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() in bochs_pci_remove(). The issue is caused by the interaction of two previous commits. Both together are required to cause it: Fixes: 846c7dfc1193 ("drm/atomic: Try to preserve the crtc enabled state in drm_atomic_remove_fb, v2.") Fixes: 6579c39594ae ("drm/bochs: atomic: switch planes to atomic, wire up helpers.") Signed-off-by: Sam Bobroff <sbobroff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, This seems to be similar to an issue I recently fixed for the AST driver: 1e613f3c630c ("drm/ast: Fix connector leak during driver unload") Which is similar to at least one other recent fix: 192b4af6cd28 ("drm/tegra: Shutdown on driver unbind") The fix seems to be the same, but this time I've tried to dig a little deeper and use an appropriate Fixes tag to assist backporting. Bisecting the issue for commits to drivers/gpu/drm/bochs/ points to: 6579c39594ae ("drm/bochs: atomic: switch planes to atomic, wire up helpers.") ... but the issue also seems to be due to a change in the generic drm code (reverting it separately fixes the issue): 846c7dfc1193 ("drm/atomic: Try to preserve the crtc enabled state in drm_atomic_remove_fb, v2.") ... so I've included both in the commit. Is that the right thing to do? I couldn't help wondering if we should also update the comment for drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), because it says: "The fbdev is destroyed by drm_dev_unregister()" ... which implies to me that cleanup only requires that call, but actually since 846c7dfc1193 you will always(?) need to use drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() as well. (Is it actually always the case?)
