I would put drm_fbdev_release at the beginning - it cancels workers
which could expect cmap to be still valid.
Indeed, you are correct again. [0] is the final version of the patch I've
but don't have an i915 test machine to give it a try. I'll test tomorrow
on my test systems to verify that it doesn't cause any regressions since
with other DRM drivers.
You have to go through all DRM drivers that call drm_fb_helper_fini()
and make sure that they free fb_info. For example armada appears to be
leaking now. [1]
But shouldn't fb_info be freed when unregister_framebuffer() is called
through drm_dev_unregister() ? AFAICT the call chain is the following:
drm_put_dev()
drm_dev_unregister()
drm_client_dev_unregister()
drm_fbdev_client_unregister()
drm_fb_helper_unregister_fbi()
unregister_framebuffer()
do_unregister_framebuffer()
put_fb_info()
drm_fbdev_fb_destroy()
framebuffer_release()
which is the reason why I believe that drm_fb_helper_fini() should be
an internal static function and only called from drm_fbdev_fb_destroy().
Drivers shouldn't really explicitly call this helper in my opinion.
