[PATCH 0/3] drm, drm/xe: Protect against premature module unloads

["Thomas Hellström" <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>]

Driver and shared DRM helper code is increasingly relying on bare
drm_device references (drm_dev_get()/drm_dev_put()) to keep a device's
software state around, without also pairing that with a reference on
the owning kernel module. Xe itself does this in several places, and
so does drm_gpuvm for the lifetime of a GPU VM. None of these
references currently prevent the owning module from being unloaded
while they, or the teardown work they can still trigger, are
outstanding, meaning driver code can end up executing after its own
module's text has already been freed.

This series closes that gap for xe:

- Patch 1 adds core DRM infrastructure allowing a driver to wait for
  its outstanding device-release callbacks to finish before
  proceeding with module unload.

- Patch 2 makes xe use this infrastructure to hold up module unload
  until every xe_device instance has actually been released, rather
  than only until the module's own refcount happens to reach zero,
  with a diagnostic if this ends up taking an unexpectedly long time.

- Patch 3 fixes a related, previously unprotected case where the
  teardown of a GPU VM or its address space mappings can be deferred
  to run at an arbitrary later time, including after module unload has
  already completed.

Together, these changes ensure `rmmod xe` cannot free the module's
memory while any of its devices, or asynchronous work stemming from
them, might still be executing.

Thomas Hellström (3):
  drm: Provide a drm_dev_release_barrier() function to wait for device
    release callbacks
  drm/xe: Don't unload the driver until all drm devices are freed
  drm/xe: Route deferred xe_vma/xe_vm teardown off system_dfl_wq
