The problem with this patch is that it makes i915_request to hold a reference to intel_context, which in turn holds a reference on the VM. This strong back referencing can lead to reference loops which leads to resource leak. An example is the upcoming VM_BIND work which requires VM to hold a reference to some shared VM specific BO. But this BO's dma-resv fences holds reference to the i915_request thus leading to reference loop.
