powerpc/pseries: Fix of_node_put() underflow during DLPAR remove
Historically struct device_node references were tracked using a kref embedded as a struct field. Commit75b57ecf9d
("of: Make device nodes kobjects so they show up in sysfs") (Mar 2014) refactored device_nodes to be kobjects such that the device tree could by more simply exposed to userspace using sysfs. Commit0829f6d1f6
("of: device_node kobject lifecycle fixes") (Mar 2014) followed up these changes to better control the kobject lifecycle and in particular the referecne counting via of_node_get(), of_node_put(), and of_node_init(). A result of this second commit was that it introduced an of_node_put() call when a dynamic node is detached, in of_node_remove(), that removes the initial kobj reference created by of_node_init(). Traditionally as the original dynamic device node user the pseries code had assumed responsibilty for releasing this final reference in its platform specific DLPAR detach code. This patch fixes a refcount underflow introduced by commit0829f6d1f6
, and recently exposed by the upstreaming of the recount API. Messages like the following are no longer seen in the kernel log with this patch following DLPAR remove operations of cpus and pci devices. rpadlpar_io: slot PHB 72 removed refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 3335 at lib/refcount.c:128 refcount_sub_and_test+0xf4/0x110 Fixes:0829f6d1f6
