Creating the dma-buf should increase the gem object reference count
too. So you should be able to unref the gem object after creating the
dma-buf. That way the dma-buf is the only instance holding a reference
to the gem object, and when the dma-buf goes away (due to userspace
closing all file handles referring to it) the gem object will be
released too because the refcount goes down to zero then.
cheers,
Gerd
