Subject: [PATCH net] s390/ism: add release function for struct device
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 13:01:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250214120137.563409-1-wintera@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Julian Ruess <julianr@linux.ibm.com>

According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c,
a device without a release function is a broken device
and must be fixed.

The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add()
without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references.
Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device,
e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free
issues if a proper release function is not set.

Fixes: 8c81ba20349d ("net/smc: De-tangle ism and smc device initialization")
