In tb_cfg_read_raw, req is allocated by tb_cfg_request_alloc() with an initial reference. Before calling tb_cfg_request_sync(), there is no refcount inc operation. tb_cfg_request_sync() calls tb_cfg_request(..,req,..) and if the callee failed, the initial reference of req is dropped and req is freed. Later in tb_cfg_read_raw before the err check, tb_cfg_request_put(req) is called again. It may cause error in race. My patch puts tb_cfg_request_put(req) after the err check finished to avoid unexpected result.
