Name

__drm_gem_object_unreference — raw function to release a GEM BO reference

Synopsis

void __drm_gem_object_unreference (struct drm_gem_object * obj);
 

Arguments

obj

GEM buffer object

Description

This function is meant to be used by drivers which are not encumbered with dev->struct_mutex legacy locking and which are using the gem_free_object_unlocked callback. It avoids all the locking checks and locking overhead of drm_gem_object_unreference and drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked.

Drivers should never call this directly in their code. Instead they should wrap it up into a driver_gem_object_unreference(struct driver_gem_object *obj) wrapper function, and use that. Shared code should never call this, to avoid breaking drivers by accident which still depend upon dev->struct_mutex locking.
