From 1616c525b98deb34b8f4b02eccf0ae3a1310fa27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:49:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: add minor-lookup/release helpers Instead of accessing drm_minors_idr directly, this adds a small helper to hide the internals. This will help us later to remove the drm_global_mutex requirement for minor-lookup. Furthermore, this also makes sure that minor->dev is always valid and takes a reference-count to the device as long as the minor is used in an open-file. This way, "struct file*"->private_data->dev is guaranteed to be valid (which it has to, as we cannot reset it).
