This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: at91: pm: fix imbalanced reference counter for ethernet devices to the 6.1-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: arm-at91-pm-fix-imbalanced-reference-counter-for-eth.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 75f4fa5c26ca33edaf433a9b1a10eb2206612616 Author: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 18 09:25:11 2023 +0300 ARM: at91: pm: fix imbalanced reference counter for ethernet devices [ Upstream commit ccd4923d18d5698a5910d516646ce125b9155d47 ] The of_find_device_by_node() function is returning a struct platform_device object with the embedded struct device member's reference counter incremented. This needs to be dropped when done with the platform device returned by of_find_device_by_node(). at91_pm_eth_quirk_is_valid() calls of_find_device_by_node() on suspend and resume path. On suspend it calls of_find_device_by_node() and on resume and failure paths it drops the counter of struct platform_device::dev. In case ethernet device may not wakeup there is a put_device() on at91_pm_eth_quirk_is_valid() which is wrong as it colides with put_device() on resume path leading to the reference counter of struct device embedded in struct platform_device to be messed, stack trace to be displayed (after 5 consecutive suspend/resume cycles) and execution to hang. Along with this the error path of at91_pm_config_quirks() had been also adapted to decrement propertly the reference counter of struct device embedded in struct platform_device.
