Thanks for your reply!

Yes, drm works fine because it fully understand what dma-buf api will
do. Improve the documentation is really good idea to prevent this case.

But, what I can't understand is, for kernel api exported to
corresponding users, we don't need to ensure all api is safe?

And for general cases, dma-buf framework also need to prevent this
case, isn't it, it will make dma-buf framework more strong?

BRs!
