From 5a65dcc04cda41f4122aacc37a5a348454645399 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Federico Vaga Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:01:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
