Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Unref context on failed eb_create
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 22:41:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396676467-21368-1-git-send-email-benjamin.widawsky@intel.com> (raw)
I opted to do this instead of grabbing the context reference after
eb_create since eb_create can potentially call the shrinker, and that
makes things very complicated. This simple patch balances the ref count
without requiring a great deal of review to make sure the shrinker path
is safe.
Theoretically (by design) the shrinker can end up destroying a context,
which enforces the reasoning for doing the fix this way instead of
moving the reference to later in the function.
