Ok, so I've figured I'll do a little exercising in laywer-thinking and I
grumpily agree that you can make the case that your patch doesn't
introduce any new races.

And with some convolution I think we can even fix the remaining ones
without undoing this patch here: The reason I've been harping about where
the unref for obj->export_dma_buf should happen is that that's currently
broken and at least my idea of fixing the below mess would have solved it
(I think), too. But we can smash the refcount fix for obj->export_dma_buf
on top of this here.

On second though it's actually a bit cleaner like that ;-)

And if I follow the legal-brainbender argument, the race I've pointed out
is also a pre-existing one. But the last issue stuck, so I want to clarify
that before smashing an r-b onto this patch. See below.

So after much pondering the only thing I could come up with here is that
this tries to duct-tape over userspace racing handle_to_fd against
gem_close (which would also reap the buf_handle lookup table). Or more
evil, gem_close + gem_open (using an flink name or dma_buf handle acquired
somewhere else).

Now afaics we don't care one bit about this, and all issues/races in this
area are pre-existing:
- The slightly incosisten locking of the handle->dma_buf table
- The races around obj->export_dma_buf.

Presuming those are fixed I still don't see a reason to care - userspace
might as well do a gem_close right _after_ the handle_to_fd call (and
maybe even follow with a fd_to_handle right afterwards) and end up with
the exact same situation you're trying to prevent here. Of course, there's
not much point in userspace doing that, but meh.

So imo this check here should be just ripped out. Or do I miss something
here?

Cheers, Daniel
