[PATCH v3 7/7] Revert "drm/gem-dma: Use dma_buf from GEM object instance"

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2025-07-15 16:02:55
Also in: dri-devel, intel-gfx, stable
Subsystem: drm drivers, drm drivers and misc gpu patches, the rest · Maintainers: David Airlie, Simona Vetter, Maarten Lankhorst, Maxime Ripard, Thomas Zimmermann, Linus Torvalds

This reverts commit e8afa1557f4f963c9a511bd2c6074a941c308685.

The dma_buf field in struct drm_gem_object is not stable over the
object instance's lifetime. The field becomes NULL when user space
releases the final GEM handle on the buffer object. This resulted
in a NULL-pointer deref.

Workarounds in commit 5307dce878d4 ("drm/gem: Acquire references on
GEM handles for framebuffers") and commit f6bfc9afc751 ("drm/framebuffer:
Acquire internal references on GEM handles") only solved the problem
partially. They especially don't work for buffer objects without a DRM
framebuffer associated.

Hence, this revert to going back to using .import_attach->dmabuf.

v3:
- cc stable
