This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i7300_edac: Fix device reference count to the 3.13-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: i7300_edac-fix-device-reference-count.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 75135da0d68419ef8a925f4c1d5f63d8046e314d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 09:43:13 +0100 Subject: i7300_edac: Fix device reference count From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> commit 75135da0d68419ef8a925f4c1d5f63d8046e314d upstream. pci_get_device() decrements the reference count of "from" (last argument) so when we break off the loop successfully we have only one device reference - and we don't know which device we have. If we want a reference to each device, we must take them explicitly and let the pci_get_device() walk complete to avoid duplicate references. This is serious, as over-putting device references will cause the device to eventually disappear. Without this fix, the kernel crashes after a few insmod/rmmod cycles. Tested on an Intel S7000FC4UR system with a 7300 chipset.
