There's two references floating around here (for the object reference, not the handle_count reference, that's a different thing): - The temporary reference held by vgem_gem_create, acquired by creating the object and released by calling drm_gem_object_put_unlocked. - The reference held by the object handle, created by drm_gem_handle_create. This one generally outlives the function, except if a 2nd thread races with a GEM_CLOSE ioctl call. So usually everything is correct, except in that race case, where the access to gem_object->size could be looking at freed data already. Which again isn't a real problem (userspace shot its feet off already with the race, we could return garbage), but maybe someone can exploit this as an information leak.
