If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 200bddbb3f5202bbce96444fdc416305de14f547 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2023 19:02:53 +0200 Subject: PCI: keystone: Don't discard .remove() callback MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 200bddbb3f5202bbce96444fdc416305de14f547 upstream. With CONFIG_PCIE_KEYSTONE=y and ks_pcie_remove() marked with __exit, the function is discarded from the driver. In this case a bound device can still get unbound, e.g via sysfs. Then no cleanup code is run resulting in resource leaks or worse. The right thing to do is do always have the remove callback available. Note that this driver cannot be compiled as a module, so ks_pcie_remove() was always discarded before this change and modpost couldn't warn about this issue. Furthermore the __ref annotation also prevents a warning.
