DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER/SUPPLIER means "Remove the link automatically on consumer/supplier driver unbind", that means we should remove whole the device_link when there is no this driver no matter what the ref_count of the link is. CC: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Yong Wu <yong.wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The ref_count of our device_link normally is over 1. When the consumer device driver is removed, whole the device_link should be removed. Thus, I add this patch. --- drivers/base/core.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/base/core.c b/drivers/base/core.c index 04bbcd7..4f3c5bc 100644 --- a/drivers/base/core.c +++ b/drivers/base/core.c @@ -511,7 +511,7 @@ static void __device_links_no_driver(struct device *dev) continue; if (link->flags & DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER) - kref_put(&link->kref, __device_link_del); + __device_link_del(&link->kref); else if (link->status != DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND) WRITE_ONCE(link->status, DL_STATE_AVAILABLE); } @@ -556,7 +556,7 @@ void device_links_driver_cleanup(struct device *dev) */ if (link->status == DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND && link->flags & DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_SUPPLIER) - kref_put(&link->kref, __device_link_del); + __device_link_del(&link->kref); WRITE_ONCE(link->status, DL_STATE_DORMANT); } -- 1.9.1
