If backing->stolen is true then we were freeing backing by calling psb_gtt_free_range() but we called it again after unlocking the mutex. Lets make it NULL after freeing in psb_gtt_free_range() and check for NULL before calling the function for the second time.

Hi Patrik, A gentle ping.
regards sudip
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Why are we freeing the range twice in the first case?
I think, if backing->stolen is true then backing is released using psb_gtt_free_range() but if backing->stolen is false then the gem object is freed but the backing is not yet freed. To free that backing psb_gtt_free_range() has been called second time. My patch tried to fix the possibility of backing->stolen being true and backing being freed 2 times.

There are some special handling of the stolen framebuffer that I don't remember entirely but the basic concept is that we free the backing when we drop the last reference on a gem object. That will trigger a psb_gtt_free_range(). So in this case it looks to me that the extra free is not needed at all. That's my quick reasoning, feel free to prove me wrong :)
In this case we are allocating backing using psbfb_alloc() and so backing->stolen is always true. So we can remove the backing->stolen condition. And if drm_fb_helper_alloc_fbi() fails then we are jumping to out_err1. So the fitst free will not be needed.

If it is ok, I can submit the v2.
