There are two bugs: 1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier) but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that leads to a use after free. 2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest. Fixes: 5d9e2ab9fea4 ("mcb: Implement bus->dev.release callback") Fixes: 18d288198099 ("mcb: Correctly initialize the bus's device") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <redacted>Thanks appliedI don't think this was actually applied and that's a good thing because my patch wasn't correct. It needs to call device_put() on both carrier and &bus->dev. I'm going to send a v2 fix for this.
Actually, no... My first patch was correct. Calling put_device(&bus->dev); will call the release function which will put the carrier. My first patch was correct. :P regards, dan carpenter
