Some state is coupled into the device lifetime outside of the load/unload timeframe and requires teardown during final unreference from drm_dev_release(). For example, dmabufs hold both a device and module reference and may live longer than expected (i.e. the current pattern of the driver tearing down its state and then releasing a reference to the drm device) and yet touch driver private state when destroyed. v2: Export drm_dev_fini() and move the responsibility for finalizing the drm_device and freeing it to the release callback. (If no callback is provided, the core will call drm_dev_fini() and kfree(dev) as before.) v3: Remember to add drm_dev_fini() to drm_drv.h v4: Tidy language for kerneldoc v5: Cross reference from drm_dev_init() to note that driver->release() allows for arbitrary embedding. v6: Refer to driver data rather than driver state, as state is now becoming associated with the struct drm_atomic_state and friends.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
