I finally got around to catching up with this thread. See some questions
and comments inline.

Where is drm_exec_lock? It's not in this patch.

Should this be kvmalloc? You're using kvrealloc and kvfree elsewhere.

If this succeeds, it won't reserve any fence slots for object. Is that a
problem?

I don't understand this. Seems a bit arbitrary. Is it even legal to try
to add the same object twice? I thought duplicates was for different
objects that share the same reservation, not actually the same object on
the same list twice.
Maybe you meant to compare with
exec->locked.objects[exec->locked.num_objects-1], assuming that
drm_exec_lock_contended just succeeded locking a previously contended
object, and the caller retried locking that same object again?

The container already gets a reference to obj. What is this extra
reference for? And where does it get dropped?
