If userspace has open fd(s) when drm_dev_unplug() is run, it will result in drm_dev_unregister() being called twice. First in drm_dev_unplug() and then later in drm_release() through the call to drm_put_dev(). Since userspace already holds a ref on drm_device through the drm_minor, it's not necessary to add extra ref counting based on no open file handles. Instead just drm_dev_put() unconditionally in drm_dev_unplug(). We now have this: - Userpace holds a ref on drm_device as long as there's open fd(s) - The driver holds a ref on drm_device as long as it's bound to the struct device When both sides are done with drm_device, it is released.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
