    drm: Don't grab an fb reference for the idr · 83f45fc3
    Daniel Vetter authored
    The current refcounting scheme is that the fb lookup idr also holds a
    reference. This works out nicely bacause thus far we've always
    explicitly cleaned up idr entries for framebuffers:
    - Userspace fbs get removed in the rmfb ioctl or when the drm file
      gets closed.
    - Kernel fbs (for fbdev emulation) get cleaned up by the driver code
      at module unload time.
    
    But now i915 also reconstructs the bios fbs for a smooth transition.
    And that fb is purely transitional and should get removed immmediately
    once all crtcs stop using it. Of course if the i915 fbdev code decides
    to reuse it as the main fbdev fb then it shouldn't be cleaned up, but
    in that case the fbdev code will grab it's own reference.
    
    The problem is now that we also want to register that takeover fb in
    the idr, so that userspace can do a smooth transition (animated maybe
    even!) itself. But currently we have no one who will clean up the idr
    reference once that fb isn't useful any more, and so essentially leak
    it.
    
    Fix this by no longer holding a full fb reference for the idr, but
    instead just have a weak reference using kref_get_unless_zero. But
    that requires us to synchronize and clean up with the idr and fb_lock
    in drm_framebuffer_free, so add that. It's a bit ugly that we have to
    unconditionally grab the fb_lock, but without that someone might creep
    through a race.
    
    This leak was caught by the fb leak check in drm_mode_config_cleanup.
    Originally the leak was introduced in
