From: "Leo (Sunpeng) Li" <sunpeng.li@xxxxxxx> During a non-blocking commit, it is possible to return before the commit_tail work is queued (-ERESTARTSYS, for example). Since a reference on the crtc commit object is obtained for the pending vblank event when preparing the commit, the above situation will leave us with an extra reference. Therefore, if the commit_tail worker has not consumed the event at the end of a commit, release it's reference. Changes since v1: - Also check for state->event->base.completion being set, to handle the case where stall_checks() fails in setup_crtc_commit().
