  Add proper refcounting on the dma_heap structure.
While existing heaps are built-in, we may eventually
have heaps loaded from modules, and we'll need to be
able to properly handle the references to the heaps

Uh I kinda want to wait until we cross that bridge ... this entire vendor
heaps thing still sounds very much like vendor trees hacking around
instead of having upstream drivers using upstream infrastructure.

Hi John,

I'm not 100% clear on the intention here. What would take/drop a
reference on a heap?

In the case of modules I think the bigger problem is how to prevent
the module getting removed while there's still something using it.

Cheers,
-Brian

Yea. At the moment nothing, but I did this cleanup as part of some
other changes which would allow drivers that want to produce a dmabuf
without having to create their own exporter to find an existing heap
and allocate from that. Thus we needed to do proper reference counting
on the handles to the heap. Those changes are stuck for now waiting
for an user to be publicly submitted, but this change initially seemed
like a reasonable correctness cleanup, so I went ahead and sent it,
but as Daniel noted we can wait for real users to be submitted before
adding any extra complexity upstream.

That's true. Probably need something like a kref on each buffer allocated.
