From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a64fc11b9a520c55ca34d82e5ca32274f49b6b15 upstream. If a process is interrupted while accessing the "gpu" debugfs file and the drm device struct_mutex is contended, release() could return early and fail to free related resources. Note that the return value from release() is ignored.
