From 54c12bc374408faddbff75dbf1a6167c19af39c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Hellstrom Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 01:13:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Fix up user_dmabuf refcounting If user space calls unreference on a user_dmabuf it will typically kill the struct ttm_base_object member which is responsible for the user-space visibility. However the dmabuf part may still be alive and refcounted. In some situations, like for shared guest-backed surface referencing/opening, the driver may try to reference the struct ttm_base_object member again, causing an immediate kernel warning and a later kernel NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by always maintaining a reference on the struct ttm_base_object member, in situations where it might subsequently be referenced.
