Use drm_gem_shmem_unpin() to unpin the backing pages for a shmem GEM

[PATCH] Use drm_gem_shmem_unpin() to unpin the backing pages for a shmem GEM

Posted by Xiaolei Wang 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Although drm_gem_shmem_free() will decrease the use count
on the backing pages and free backing pages for a GEM object,
the pages_pin_count count is not decremented, which results
in a warning. Therefore, use drm_gem_shmem_unpin() to unpin
the backing pages for a shmem GEM.
