This should identify the extra references in expected_count, just disabling this protection seems unsafe, ZONE_DEVICE is not so special that the refcount means nothing Is this a side effect of the extra refcounts that Ralph was trying to get rid of? I'd rather see that work finished :) Jason _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
