[PATCH 4.4 049/160] libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while scheduling async init

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b6eae0f61db27748606cc00dafcfd1e2c032f0a5 upstream.

Unlike asynchronous initialization in the core we have not yet associated
the device with the parent, and as such the device doesn't hold a reference
to the parent.

In order to resolve that we should be holding a reference on the parent
until the asynchronous initialization has completed.
