Subject: [PATCH] drm/etnaviv: fix memory leak when mapping prime imported buffers

When using mmap() on a prime imported buffer allocated by a
different driver (such as imx-drm) the later munmap() does
not correctly decrement the refcount of the original enaviv_gem_object,
leading to a leak.

What's the use-case where you did hit this issue? mmap'ing of imported
buffers through the etnaviv DRM device is currently not well defined
and I was pondering the idea of forbidding it completely by not
returning a mmap offset for those objects.

Regards,
Lucas

I hit this on Android 8 (on i.MX6 using mesa 20.0.6 with gbm gralloc
and drm hwcomposer) and had a memory leak every time an activity was
started.
I'm not sure exactly why but Android does a gralloc.lock() and
gralloc.unlock() on every activity startup.
Those map and unmap the buffer.

Under Android (at least in 8+) the actual graphics buffer allocations
are done by a dedicated process
([email protected])
because it uses a "binderized HAL" for the allocation
[https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/hal-types]
This means that buffers are *always* imported (though they are usually
only mmaped for SW rendering or screen shots).

Martin
