4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e0ee3c9faed7ca68807ea45141775856c438ac0 upstream. If the initialization fails before tpm_chip_register(), put_device() will be not called, which causes release callback not to be called. This patch fixes the issue by adding put_device() to devres list of the parent device. Fixes: 313d21eeab ("tpm: device class for tpm") Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c index 86194a6..4a3e534 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c @@ -133,6 +133,8 @@ struct tpm_chip *tpmm_chip_alloc(struct device *dev, chip->cdev.owner = chip->pdev->driver->owner; chip->cdev.kobj.parent = &chip->dev.kobj; + devm_add_action(dev, (void (*)(void *)) put_device, &chip->dev); + return chip; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(tpmm_chip_alloc); @@ -168,7 +170,7 @@ static int tpm_add_char_device(struct tpm_chip *chip) static void tpm_del_char_device(struct tpm_chip *chip) { cdev_del(&chip->cdev); - device_unregister(&chip->dev); + device_del(&chip->dev); } static int tpm1_chip_register(struct tpm_chip *chip) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
