[ Upstream commit f492283b157053e9555787262f058ae33096f568 ] It is expected from the clients to follow the below steps on an imported dmabuf fd: a) dmabuf = dma_buf_get(fd) // Get the dmabuf from fd b) dma_buf_attach(dmabuf); // Clients attach to the dmabuf o Here the kernel does some slab allocations, say for dma_buf_attachment and may be some other slab allocation in the dmabuf->ops->attach(). c) Client may need to do dma_buf_map_attachment(). d) Accordingly dma_buf_unmap_attachment() should be called. e) dma_buf_detach () // Clients detach to the dmabuf. o Here the slab allocations made in b) are freed. f) dma_buf_put(dmabuf) // Can free the dmabuf if it is the last reference. Now say an erroneous client failed at step c) above thus it directly called dma_buf_put(), step f) above. Considering that it may be the last reference to the dmabuf, buffer will be freed with pending attachments left to the dmabuf which can show up as the 'memory leak'. This should at least be reported as the WARN().

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.
