[PATCH 5.10 029/120] um: virtio: free vu_dev only with the contained struct device

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-02-08 17:11:33
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, user-mode linux (uml) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Richard Weinberger, Anton Ivanov, Johannes Berg

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

[ Upstream commit f4172b084342fd3f9e38c10650ffe19eac30d8ce ]

Since struct device is refcounted, we shouldn't free the vu_dev
immediately when it's removed from the platform device, but only
when the references actually all go away. Move the freeing to
the release to accomplish that.
