 * from filter B.  Filter B gives it a buffer to use with the permissions it
 * requested, while reserving more permissions for itself to use when filter A
 * eventually passes the buffer to filter B.  However, filter A does not know
 * what these permissions are to reinsert them in the reference passed to B,
 * filter B can't assume that any picture it is passed is one that it allocated.
 *
 * Rather than have each filter implement their own code to check for this
