Note: the chardev instance in osd_uld.c originally did not set the kobject parent. Thus, I'm reasonably confident that because of this, this code would have suffered from a minor use after free bug if the cdev was open when the backing device was released.

Cool thanks. And even a bug fix ACK-by: Boaz Harrosh [off-list ref]
