serial_core.c: add put_device() after device_find_child()
The serial core uses device_find_child() but does not drop the reference to
the retrieved child after using it. This patch add the missing put_device().
What I have done to test this issue.
I used a machine with an AMBA PL011 serial driver. I tested the patch on
next-
20120408 because the last branch [next-
20120415] does not boot on this
board.
For test purpose, I added some pr_info() messages to print the refcount
after device_find_child() (lines: 1937,2009), and after put_device()
(lines: 1947, 2021).
Boot the machine *without* put_device(). Then:
echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 87.058575] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4
[ 87.058582] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 4
[ 87.098083] uart_resume_port:2009refcount 5
[ 87.098088] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 5
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 103.055574] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 6
[ 103.055580] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 6
[ 103.095322] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 7
[ 103.095327] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 7
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 252.459580] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 8
[ 252.459586] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 8
[ 252.499611] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 9
[ 252.499616] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 9
The refcount continuously increased.
Boot the machine *with* this patch. Then:
echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 159.333559] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4
[ 159.333566] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 3
[ 159.372751] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 4
[ 159.372755] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 3
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 185.713614] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4
[ 185.713621] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 3
[ 185.752935] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 4
[ 185.752940] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 3
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 207.458584] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4
[ 207.458591] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 3
[ 207.498598] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 4
[ 207.498605] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 3
The refcount correctly handled.
