--------------------
All GEM objects are reference-counted by the GEM core. References can be
-acquired and release by :c:func:`calling
-drm_gem_object_reference()` and
-:c:func:`drm_gem_object_unreference()` respectively. The caller
-must hold the :c:type:`struct drm_device <drm_device>`
-struct_mutex lock when calling
-:c:func:`drm_gem_object_reference()`. As a convenience, GEM
-provides :c:func:`drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked()`
-functions that can be called without holding the lock.
