Linux kernel source tree
c08c931060
At the moment, the way that we currently free gem shmem objects is not ideal for rust bindings. drm_gem_shmem_free() releases all of the associated memory with a gem shmem object with kfree(), which means that for us to correctly release a gem shmem object in rust we have to manually drop all of the contents of our gem object structure in-place by hand before finally calling drm_gem_shmem_free() to release the shmem resources and the allocation for the gem object. Since the only reason this is an issue is because of drm_gem_shmem_free() calling kfree(), we can fix this by splitting drm_gem_shmem_free() out into itself and drm_gem_shmem_release(), where drm_gem_shmem_release() releases the various gem shmem resources without freeing the structure itself. With this, we can safely re-acquire the KBox for the gem object's memory allocation and let rust handle cleaning up all of the other struct members automatically.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
