Please pay more attention to describing your patches clearly in
changelogs and to splitting them up for review. This is a frequent
issue and it does make it much harder to check what's happening.

In this case you're not actually working with locking but rather with
reference counting and there's no real description of the actual errors
either. Saying something like "function X takes a reference which we
need to drop" would help a lot, and it would let us think about if it's
sensible for the function to return holding the reference in the first
place and how long the reference needs to be held for.
