I feel like I've been looking at this too long. I think I see another
problem here, but with dmabuf even when epoll is fixed:

dma_buf_poll()
	get_file(dmabuf->file)		/* f_count + 1 */
	dma_buf_poll_add_cb()
		dma_resv_for_each_fence ...
			dma_fence_add_callback(fence, ..., dma_buf_poll_cb)

dma_buf_poll_cb()
	...
        fput(dmabuf->file);		/* f_count - 1 ... for each fence */

Isn't it possible to call dma_buf_poll_cb() (and therefore fput())
multiple times if there is more than 1 fence? Perhaps I've missed a
place where a single struct dma_resv will only ever signal 1 fence? But
looking through dma_fence_signal_timestamp_locked(), I don't see
anything about resv nor somehow looking into other fence cb_list
contents...
