Subject: [PATCH] DMAENGINE: too many kref_put calls
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:56:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071026235648.5737.45405.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
When a channel is removed from dmaengine, too many kref_put() calls
are made and the device removal happens too soon, usually causing
a panic.
