Subject[PATCH 3.4 035/176] driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe
Date
From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released. This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices. libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# dmesg | grep 01:10
pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_add_internal: parent: '0000:00:01.0', set: 'devices'
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0'
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0'
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_uevent_env
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0'
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_cleanup, parent (null)
kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): calling ktype release
kobject: '0000:01:10.0': free name

[kobject freed as expected]

# dmesg -C
# echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0000:01:10.0 > drivers_probe
# echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
