From c5488307dd679ea3fc23fec77dbf27191c2becda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 23:53:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/armada: fix page_flip refcounting leak A refcounting leak was found of the original frame buffer attached to the CRTC when using the page_flip ioctl, resulting in the frame buffer never being freed. This was not obvious initially, as if the page flip subsequently re-attaches the original frame buffer, the refcounts will be balanced. However, if the original frame buffer is freed, then it will be leaked. Fix this by ensuring that we take a reference on the incoming fb, but rely on the queued work to drop that ref count.
