Subject: [PATCH v2 04/17] drm/pagemap, drm/xe: Manage drm_pagemap provider lifetimes
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:43:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111164408.113070-5-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251111164408.113070-1-thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com>
If a device holds a reference on a foregin device's drm_pagemap,
and a device unbind is executed on the foreign device,
Typically that foreign device would evict its device-private
pages and then continue its device-managed cleanup eventually
releasing its drm device and possibly allow for module unload.
However, since we're still holding a reference on a drm_pagemap,
when that reference is released and the provider module is
unloaded we'd execute out of undefined memory.
Therefore keep a reference on the provider device and module until
the last drm_pagemap reference is gone.
Note that in theory, the drm_gpusvm_helper module may be unloaded
as soon as the final module_put() of the provider driver module is
executed, so we need to add a module_exit() function that waits
for the work item executing the module_put() has completed.
