This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/dasd: fix double module refcount decrement to the 5.15-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: s390-dasd-fix-double-module-refcount-decrement.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0c773277cf693e3f79456943ac76d72d811bef51 Author: Miroslav Franc <mfranc@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 9 13:45:22 2024 +0100 s390/dasd: fix double module refcount decrement [ Upstream commit c3116e62ddeff79cae342147753ce596f01fcf06 ] Once the discipline is associated with the device, deleting the device takes care of decrementing the module's refcount. Doing it manually on this error path causes refcount to artificially decrease on each error while it should just stay the same.
