commit 6ecac85e upstream. This should help with some of the lifetime issues, and move us away from load/unload. [rez] Regarding the backport to v4.14.y, the only difference is due to the fact that in v4.14.y the udl_usb_probe() function still uses drm_dev_unref() instead of drm_dev_put().

Nope, we don't need that patch in the v4.14 backport. In v4.19.y we have two functions, drm_dev_put() and drm_dev_unref(), which are aliases for one another (drm_dev_unref() just calls drm_dev_put()). drm_dev_unref() is the older of the two, and was introduced back in v4.0. drm_dev_put() was introduced in v4.15 with 9a96f550 drm: introduce drm_dev_{get/put} functions and slowly callers were moved from the old name (_unref) to the new name (_put). The patch you mentioned, ac3b35f1, is one such patch where we are replacing a drm_dev_unref() call with a drm_dev_put() call. This doesn't have a functional change, but was necessary so that the third patch in the v4.19.y series I sent would apply cleanly. For the v4.14.y series, though, the drm_dev_put() function hasn't yet been defined and everyone is still using drm_dev_unref(). So, we don't need a backport of ac3b35f1, and I also had a small backport change in the last patch of the v4.14.y series where I had to change a drm_dev_put() call with a drm_dev_unref() call. Just for posterity, the drm_dev_unref() calls were eventually all changed to drm_dev_put() in v5.0, and drm_dev_unref() was removed entirely. That happened with the following two patches: 808bad32 drm: replace "drm_dev_unref" function with "drm_dev_put" ba1d3454 drm: remove deprecated "drm_dev_unref" function Acked-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190405031715.5959-4-airlied@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@google.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
