Which kref_get() does this pair with?
Looks like qcom_mhi_qrtr_send() will release a reference after
completion, too.
Yikes, there is some issue here...
Acutally the issue is not in what you referred above but the overall kref
handling itself. Please see below.
kref_put() should be present in qcom_mhi_qrtr_ul_callback() as it will
decrement the refcount which got incremented in qcom_mhi_qrtr_send(). It
should be noted that kref_init() will fix the refcount to 1 and kref_get() will
increment to 2. So for properly releasing the refcount to 0, we need to call
kref_put() twice.
So if all goes well, the refcount will get decremented twice in
qcom_mhi_qrtr_ul_callback() as well as in qcom_mhi_qrtr_send() and we are good.
But, if the transfer has failed ie., when qcom_mhi_qrtr_ul_callback() doesn't
get called, then we are leaking the refcount. I need to rework the kref handling
code in next iteration.
Thanks for triggering this!

Hi Mani,
I'm not sure if this was changed in your patches but MHI is supposed to give a
ul_callback() for any packet that is successfully queued. In the case of the
transfer failing, the ul_callback() should still be called so there should
be no refcount leaking. It is an essential assumption I made, if that no longer
holds true then the entire driver needs to be reworked.
Thanks,
Chris
