This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled habanalabs: Call put_pid() when releasing control device to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: habanalabs-call-put_pid-when-releasing-control-devic.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bcfc1480c49d6eb278a85e942dde4364b4c92ede Author: Tomer Tayar <ttayar@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 19 14:05:33 2021 +0200 habanalabs: Call put_pid() when releasing control device [ Upstream commit 27ac5aada024e0821c86540ad18f37edadd77d5e ] The refcount of the "hl_fpriv" structure is not used for the control device, and thus hl_hpriv_put() is not called when releasing this device. This results with no call to put_pid(), so add it explicitly in hl_device_release_ctrl().
