Sorry for the spam, I should have double checked the code before writi= ng this as I realized the reason I didn't implement this. Correct me if I'm wr= ong here since it's the first time I've interacted very much with this API in t= he kernel but: it seems like the reference counting for dma_buf objects is intended to be used for keeping a dma_buf's fd around while userspace is st= ill accessing it and not for use internally by drivers themselves, correct?
