Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: Fix broken device refcounting
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:46:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1194461167.8489.6.camel@dwillia2-linux.ch.intel.com> (raw)

From: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented
twice for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in
dma_chan_cleanup(). This may result in the DMA device driver's
remove() function completing before all channels have been cleaned
up, causing lots of use-after-free fun.

Fix it by incrementing the device's reference count twice for each
channel during registration.

This fixes dmaengine refcounting in 2.6.23.y and 2.6.24-rc.
