At least I see the problem now. I'm just not sure how to fix it.

Your v2 patch indeed prevents leakage of the drm_prime_member for the 
additional handles, but those shouldn't have been added in the first place.

The issue is that with this we make it unpredictable which handle is 
returned. E.g. if we have handle 2,5,7 it can be that because of 
re-balancing the tree sometimes 2 and sometimes 5 is returned.

That's not really a good idea and breaks a couple of assumptions as far 
as I know.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Christian.
