[Dri-devel] DRM leaking context handles?

[Erdi Chen]

The Linux DRM does not seem to clean up the context handles when the 
client does the destroy the context (i.e. the client process has die a 
horrible premature death).  The VIA DRM (for CLE266) manages video and 
agp memory in the kernel, it runs out of memory eventually when its 
clients do not clean up properly.  Other DRM's will consume an entry in 
the bitmap table (if it is enabled) and will eventually fail when they 
run out of free entries.

Is this a known problem? Has it been fixed? I have to add a linked list 
to VIA's DRM to keep track of context handles and perform clean up when 
release is called on the DRI file descriptor. I will gladly create a 
patch if this is a real problem.

Thanks,
Erdi Chen
