The TTM buffer-object interface provides ttm_bo_reference() and ttm_bo_unref() for managing reference counts. Replacing them with ttm_bo_get() and ttm_bo_put() aligns the API with conventions used throughout the Linux kernel. The implementation of ttm_bo_unref() clears the supplied pointer to NULL. This leads to workarounds where the caller saves the pointer's value before de-referencing the BO. ttm_bo_put() does not clear the supplied pointer.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
