Commit 374146cad469 ("drm/vc4: Switch to drmm_mutex_init") converted, among other functions, vc4_create_object() to use drmm_mutex_init(). However, that function is used to allocate a BO, and therefore the mutex needs to be freed much sooner than when the DRM device is removed from the system. For each buffer allocation we thus end up allocating a small structure as part of the DRM-managed mechanism that is never freed, eventually leading us to no longer having any free memory anymore. Let's switch back to mutex_init/mutex_destroy to deal with it properly.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
