Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/gem: Stop exposing the racy/unsafe drm_gem_lru_remove() helper
Date: Wed, 06 May 2026 14:16:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506-panthor-shrinker-fixes-v1-3-e7721526de96@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506-panthor-shrinker-fixes-v1-0-e7721526de96@collabora.com>

The only place where it's safe to call drm_gem_lru_remove() is when
we know the drm_gem_object::lru field can't be concurrently updated,
which we know is the case when the drm_gem_object is destroyed.

Rather than trying to make that safe, let's kill the function and inline
its content in drm_gem_object_release().
